After dedicating an exhibition to Ravel, Kandinsky, metal, and even disco, a brand new genre is coming to the Philharmonie de Paris in 2026. Now it’s time for « Videogames & Music », which explores the connection between these two artistic fields and the evolution of video game music over the years. Get ready with your headphones and controllers ! 


An exhibition to discover for over six months

Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy, League of LegendsWhether they're iconic or more niche, video games represent a boundless array of possibilities, both in terms of visuals and sound. Since the 1960s, when it began to emerge, up to today, when its global market is worth 189 billion dollars, the video game industry stands out as a realm of continuous technological and artistic exploration. And it’s precisely this impressive journey through half a century of History that the exhibition “ Videogames & Music ” offers from April 2 to November 1, 2026


A world in constant evolution for over 50 years

In total, about twenty fun and interactive installations will allow visitors to embark on this time travel journey. From the 8-bit era, with consoles and arcade machines, to the limited sound capacities of the 1970s and 1980s, through collaborations with great composers and symphonic orchestras today, including the synchronization of music and player actions—like combat moments, exploration, and more—in the 2000s to 2010s… the exhibition promises to give you a moment of nostalgia perhaps, but above all, an experience that feels timeless. Join us starting April 2, 2026, to discover it at the Philharmonie de Paris. Ticket sales will open in March.
