Typically, museums prohibit touching the art, but the Balloon Museum in Miami is redefining that experience with its new exhibition, "Let's Fly." This unique exhibit, which focuses on lightness and flight, places viewers at the center of the experience, encouraging interaction with the art.
The "Let's Fly" exhibition invites visitors on an emotional journey through larger-than-life installations made of inflatable materials. Featuring 21 artworks from international artists, the exhibit aims to evoke a range of emotions and create an innovative relationship between the viewer and the art. The exhibition has already attracted over 4.4 million visitors worldwide and was even featured in the Emmy-nominated Netflix series "Emily in Paris."
Visitors begin their adventure by passing through a digital portal of lights and sounds. Each installation offers a unique and immersive experience designed to engage the imagination. From a cosmic wonder filled with black spheres and sky balloons to soap bubbles floating in space, each exhibit invites viewers to interact and become part of the artwork.
One of the standout installations, "Hyper Stellar," immerses visitors in a sensory journey that challenges their perception of the universe. Another exhibit features a sculptural vortex where balloons dance around the viewer in a choreographed ballet, providing a magical experience.
Visitors of all ages have found the exhibition delightful and engaging. Many appreciate the opportunity to interact with the installations, making the experience more personal and memorable.
"Once you interact with the artwork, its purpose is completed, and it gives something back to you," said exhibition manager, Jesus Gonzalez.
The exhibition concludes with several balloon-themed rooms designed for social media-worthy photos, allowing visitors to capture their memories of the unique experience.
The "Let's Fly" exhibition is open now until October 6 at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center in Miami. For more information, visit balloonmuseum.world.
