Immersive digital art museums have gained popularity worldwide, with more than 100 permanent locations and traveling exhibitions now available. This trend began to rise significantly after the opening of Paris' Atelier des Lumieres in April 2018. The museum, located in a repurposed steel refinery, showcases Gustav Klimt's works set to classical music, creating an experience that has attracted visitors from all walks of life.
Among these venues is Bassins des Lumieres in Bordeaux, France. Situated in a historic WWII submarine base, it offers a unique setting where artworks reflect off vast pools of water. Philippe Lopez from AFP/Getty Images describes the current exhibit "Vermeer to Van Gogh" as a captivating fusion of art and innovation.
In Indianapolis, The Lume Indianapolis presents another example of immersive digital art. Located on the fourth floor of the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, it features exhibitions by Grande Experiences from Melbourne. Their current exhibit "Dali Alive" includes Salvador Dali's iconic melting clocks.
