Larp into a museum
summary
A permanent Museum of Games in Finland opens after a successful crowdfunding that raises 80,000 euros and curators select 100 Finnish games for display, of which 60 are playable. The project assembles a checklist of ~240 Finnish tabletop RPG publications and acquires about 80% of them, includes 8 tabletop RPGs on display, recreates a radio call‑in RPG and an arcade, draws over 10,000 visitors in month one, and faces ongoing challenges of maintenance and how to present LARP as playable museum work.
