Esports | A Game Changer, organized by the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum and opening in time for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, explores the evolution of esports from niche origins to celebrate mainstream megaevents, addressing socio-cultural challenges and forecasting its future trajectory. The first of its kind exhibition seamlessly integrates digital kiosks and portals into an inspiring design for visitors.
The immersive exhibition is structured into four sections:
— "What is Esports" examines how esports relates to gaming and traditional sports, and the organizational and economic aspects behind it.
— "History of Esports" traces its inception from early devices, games, and events, through the growth of international structures and titles, to its mainstream breakthrough.
— "We are Esports" celebrates the accessibility of esports, spotlighting how anyone can ascend to stardom through social media, forge a unique identity, and engage in a range of esports-related hobbies.
— The exhibition culminates with "Future of Esports”, which contemplates its societal, educational, recreational, and occupational implications, and its future role in the gaming landscape.
The exhibition is curated by Dr. Christian Wacker, Deputy Director of Exhibitions, Qatar Museums, with esports industry leaders Benjamin Buchtala and Jannik Rädisch; Abdulla Yousuf Al Mulla, Director, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum; and Aalia Khalid Al-Khater, Head of Exhibitions, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum.
