A balloon museum full of inflatable, interactive installations will soon land in Chicago.
EmotionAir, a traveling exhibit that has stopped in cities across the globe, will pop-up in Chicago beginning Oct. 30. The experience, organizers said, includes inflatable art and “out of scale installations with unexpected shapes” that are meant to be touched and interacted with.
The exhibit, which will be held at The Fields Studio, at 2828 N. Pulaski, aims to transport guests on a “sensory journey” through a mix of interactive installations, emotional projection and performance art.
“Balloon Museum was conceived as a creative response to a changing world, based on the idea that the innocence of childhood can be transformed into art that elevates and inspires,” Roberto Fantauzzi, CEO of Lux Entertainment said in a release. “As we prepare to open our doors in the Windy City, we are excited to share this vision, bringing joy, inspiration, and connection to new audiences.”
The Chicago edition of the museum will feature more than a dozen experiences from internationally renowned artists, the release said, with each meant to explore the connections between creativity and feelings. Several of the experiences will be suitable for young children.
The project debuted in 2021 and has traveled to several other cities, including London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, New York, Miami, San Francisco and Singapore.
According to organizers, the show will remain in Chicago through April 6. Tickets start at $43 for adults on weekdays, with different pricing for children and seniors. Weekend rates may vary.
