The story
The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (stylized as The MADE) is a museum in Oakland, California dedicated to digital art and gaming, with fully playable gaming exhibits. Its mission is to inspire the next generation of digital creators through playable preservation. The board of directors and Board of Advisors are composed largely of veterans of the gaming industry, journalists, experts, and historians of the field. The museum was founded by the internationally published technology journalist Alex Handy, with Henry Lowood, curator of Stanford University History of Science & Technology Collections and Film & Media Collections serving on the board of directors. In September 2015, the museum launched a Kickstarter campaign to acquire a venue in San Francisco, California, across the bay. In June 2022, after being closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the museum reopened in a new location in downtown Oakland under the leadership of the new executive director, Shem Nguyen. In July 2024, the museum's board of directors hired its first full-time executive director, Mason Young.
