I happen to run across this today. Needless to say I'll have to run down south sometime in June or early July to check it out. It is at the main gallery of the Mitchell Museum on the grounds of the Cedarhurst Center For The Arts in Mount Vernon, Illinois.

I wish I could get there. I really really do

sometimes it sucks not having a steady job.

You're in Australia though...

Wow. Just a 4 hour shot down I-57 from where I live...

I went...visuals gets a B, interactivity gets an F. Yep you can look, but you can't play them. It will take about an hour to go thru it all slowly.

It would be great to see this exhibit, but kind of odd that they don't allow anyone to play the machines. Pinballs are all about interactivity, and unless you go to a video game show (such as Califronia Extreme or the Texas Pinball Festival) you're not really going to get an opportunity to play them. Seems like an event dedicated to pinballs would be an ideal place to allow people to get in some quality time with the machines. Ahh, well, at least they are getting some deserved attention.
