Students had the opportunity to tour the museum, which includes life-size statues, paintings and figurines of some of the developer’s most famous characters. Some of the items on display are original pieces created by Blizzard’s famous design team. The tour also featured a look at the theatre, library, and common rooms used by Blizzard’s employees. Adding to the experience was the chance to peruse some highlights from Blizzard’s titles, including: World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo.
