The way that galleries showcase art is evolving; many immersive museums use elements such as video, audio, live performances, and touch to offer new ways to engage with art. With younger generations discovering new experiences from popular culture and through social media, immersive museums are great at encouraging people to share their experiences. After all, we all had to discover Vincent Van Gogh at some point, why not through an immersive exhibition?<\/p>\n
With the influx of multisensory exhibitions, how can we separate the Michelangelo from your seven-year-old self\u2019s drawing of a dog? That\u2019s where we come in. A\u00a0lot of the experiences we recommend to you are tried and tested by RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u2018s very own Going Out<\/a> team. In the last year, we\u2019ve been lucky enough to visit Frameless<\/a>, the Balloon Museum<\/a>, Dal\u00ed Cybernetics, just to name a few.<\/p>\n We also keep an ear to the ground for the latest things happening in London, whether that\u2019s limited time experiences such as Tom Hanks The Moonwalkers exhibition, activities which extend throughout the whole year like the best London theatre shows, or trending experiences \u2014 did you know the Balloon Museum featured in Emily in Paris?<\/p>\n Without further ado, here are the best immersive museums and exhibitions that you won\u2019t want to miss in 2024.<\/p>\n Looking for things to do in the capital city? Take a look at the best London experience gifts<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jump to:<\/strong><\/p>\n He\u2019s one of the most influential artists in the modern world, and now you have the chance to see Vincent Van Gogh\u2019s artwork in a 260 degree digital exhibition. When we think of the original immersive experience, we can\u2019t help but imagining this Van Gogh one; this Digital Writer<\/a> saw the multisensory exhibition in Manchester, and it\u2019s since found its home in London.<\/p>\n Immerse yourself in the Dutch post-impressionist painter\u2019s artwork, such as The Starry Night and Caf\u00e9 Terrace At Night, with huge digital installations. Plus, travel through eight of Van Gogh\u2019s works and their inspirations with a one-of-a-kind VR experience complete with a headset.<\/p>\n Buy tickets for Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience from \u00a313.90 at Fever<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n For more immersive experiences, take a look at the best VR experiences<\/a>, The Moonwalkers with Tom Hanks<\/a>, and best London immersive experiences<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n At this point, we\u2019ve seen the Infinity Mirror Rooms on Instagram more times than we\u2019ve seen our own parents since Christmas. But, there is a good reason for that: can our mum and dad offer the illusion of a boundless universe of rotating crystal chandeliers? We joke, of course, but Yayoi Kusama\u2019s Infinity Mirror Rooms has captured the whole of London\u2019s attention, and it\u2019s now booking until April 2024.<\/p>\n Infinity Mirror Rooms contains a small presentation of photographs and videos (some which are displayed for the first time) to provide context for the iconic mirrored rooms. If you\u2019re not familiar with the incredible artist Kusama, she came to international attention in the 1960s for her creative mediums which span installation, painting, sculpture, and fashion design.<\/p>\n Buy Infinity Mirror Rooms tickets from \u00a310 at Tate<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The aim of Oxford Street\u2019s Twist Museum is to disrupt what your brain knows to be true: can you see colours that aren\u2019t there? Can you always tell which way is up? Could a corridor go on forever? The museum was developed in collaboration with artists, neuroscientists and philosophers to put the power of your mind to the test. Inside the museum, you\u2019ll get up close and personal with interactive exhibits and illusions.<\/p>\n Buy Twist Museum tickets from \u00a319 at See Tickets<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For the latest experiences and ticket releases, such as Torvill and Dean tickets<\/a>, Mamma Mia!

Step inside the pieces from famous artists such as Cezanne, Kandinsky, Monet, Dal\u00ed, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Klimt, plus many more.<\/p>\n We were lucky enough to not only experience Frameless but also Frameless Lates: a newly-launched late-night session which takes place every Friday and Saturday, and allows you to explore the four galleries with a drink in hand. Frameless Lates will also have the occasional artist in residence, too, for example, Maliha Abidi exhibited last October.<\/p>\n Buy Frameless tickets from \u00a327 at Ticketmaster<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For more information about Frameless<\/a>, take a look at our guide.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is another immersive museum that the Going Out<\/a> team were lucky enough to visit, and when we tell you we had the time of our lives \u2014 mostly because we spent a good 45-minutes playing in the ball pit \u2014 we wouldn\u2019t be exaggerating.<\/p>\n Expect the unexpected with this immersive museum! At the Balloon Museum, you\u2019ll walk into various themed rooms which have all been taken over by one artist each. For example, multidisciplinary artist Miranda Makaroff has decorated one room with giant, inflatable faces, and other artists, such as Cyril Lancelin, Momoyo Torimitsu and Karina Smigla-Bobinski, have put their stamp on other rooms.<\/p>\n Oh, and did we mention the Balloon Museum features in the How to Lose a Designer in 10 Days episode (season 3, episode 7, to be precise) in Emily in Paris?<\/p>\n Buy Balloon Museum tickets from \u00a332 at Ticketmaster<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n We were lucky enough to visit the Balloon Museum<\/a>, and you can read more about the exhibition in our guide.<\/strong><\/p>\n For an immersive museum which is perfect for the whole family, look no further than Bubble Planet.

Has increased digital interaction changed how we express affection? And how has the queer experience transformed our understanding of love?<\/p>\n The next Science Museum Lates experience will take place on Thursday 7th March.<\/p>\n Book free Science Museum Lates tickets at the Science Museum<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n As well as immersive experiences, we\u2019ve also narrowed down the best art exhibitions in London<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
