The Art of Video Games exhibition (opening March 16, 2012) will highlight images and footage from the 80 games that won the public vote in April, as well as five games that will be available for visitors to play for a few minutes.

The exhibition also will include sketches and concept art from a small selection of games. We don't want to give too much away before the show opens, but here is a sneak peek at three of the artworks that will be featured:
