Ahead of major video game exhibition “Game On” launching on 29 June, Young Scot and National Museums Scotland are excited to announce a new partnership that will assist young people in saving money and provide increased access to specialist exhibitions and events. The offer means that anyone aged 11-25 with a Young Scot National Entitlement Card will be entitled to a special discount of up to 20% off on entry to paid exhibitions at the National Museum of Scotland.
And Young Scot cardholders can now book a discounted ticket for Game On - the largest interactive exhibition of video games' history and culture. From Sonic the Hedgehog to Mario, young people can get hands-on, exploring gaming's rich history by playing many games produced over the last 50 years. Game On is conceived and curated by Barbican Immersive.
Young Scot CEO Kirsten Urquhart said:
“Collaboration and inclusion are central to Young Scot’s aim to support young people to thrive and make the most of their lives as they grow up.
“Supporting young people to thrive is a powerful way to help build confidence, resilience, and to have fun – and the world-renowned Game On exhibition is the perfect fun-filled platform to highlight our new partnership with National Museums Scotland.
“Joining forces provides a fantastic opportunity for our organisations’ to achieve our mutual goal of connecting with young people from communities across Scotland by offering increased access to new experiences.”
A National Museums Scotland spokesperson said:
“We are very excited to announce our partnership with Young Scot in advance of our block-buster summer exhibition, Game On. Young Scot cardholders will be able to engage with our special exhibition, discovering the history and world of gaming for a discounted price which will extend across our future exhibitions and events.”
