"The Art of Video Games" will focus on the graphics, technology and storytelling of some of the best games for systems ranging from Atari to the PlayStation 3. It will include 80 video games that were selected with help from the public who voted online last year. The museum announced Tuesday that the exhibit will also tour to several sites across the country, including Boca Raton, Fla.; Seattle; Yonkers, N.Y.; Flint, Mich.; and Memphis, Tenn.
