The Smithsonian American Art Museum thinks so.
This exhibition will run from March to September in 2012 and will showcase the best of what video games have offered the art scene since their very inception several decades ago.
What Games Will Be Showcased?
That's up to you! The Museum has asked for gamers' help in choosing which games should be chosen to represent the medium.

Video games use images, actions, and player participation to tell stories and engage their audiences. In the same way as film, animation, and performance, they can be considered a compelling and influential form of narrative art.
The Art of Video Games is one of the first exhibitions to explore the forty-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium, with a focus on striking visual effects and the creative use of new technologies. The exhibition will feature some of the most influential artists and designers during five eras of game technology, from early developers such as David Crane and Warren Robinett to contemporary designers like Kellee Santiago and David Jaffe. It also will explore the many influences on game designers, and the pervasive presence video games have in the broader popular culture, with new relationships to video art, film and television, educational practices, and professional skill training. Chris Melissinos, founder of Past Pixels and collector of video games and gaming systems, is the curator of the exhibition.

From February 14 through April 7, 2011, the public is invited to help select games to be included in the exhibition. You can vote online for eighty games from a pool of 240 proposed choices in various categories, divided by era, game type, and platform. The games on the ballot were selected by exhibition curator Chris Melissinos, who worked with the museum and an advisory group consisting of game developers, designers, industry pioneers, and journalists.

But yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw an article about this was that we'd have to have this conversation again.
Yeah, creating a video game is no less-artistic than making pottery or writing a screenplay or taking photographs of things.
Games are art.
Now they're going to the Smithsonian.
End of argument.
when our descendants think back to the 2010s they will know this as the era of the Bieber Fever
And shake their heads in disgust.
