If you thought all art museums were drab, just wait until you see this one. Opening on December 26 in Houston, Seismique is a 40,000-square-foot interactive museum featuring work by local and national artists. Each room leads you deeper into a world of whimsy, with immersive, colorful galleries that capture your senses in ways museums seldom do.
Seismique is Houston’s newest interactive art museum, spanning 40,000 square feet of pure imaginative genius.
Facebook/Seismique The museum features more than 40 unique exhibits, each one telling a story all its own.
You’ll see works by over two dozen artists, both local and national.
Facebook/Seismique Some of the names are easily recognizable, while others are more recent breakouts into the city’s art scene.
Unlike traditional museums, Seismique integrates technology into its exhibits.
Facebook/Seismique Among the elements used are projection mapping, holograms, augmented reality, lightmapping, motion-tracking cameras, and gamification.
Another thing most museums have in common is a strict “hands-off” policy regarding the artwork — but not here.
Facebook/Seismique Take the “Venus” gallery, pictured above, for example. It’s basically a playground, with a giant, hammock-like structure in the middle for climbing.
Guests will travel to faraway dimensions, where life as we know it does not exist.
Facebook/Seismique Prepare for a sensory experience like no other as you traverse the galleries and revel in the cacophony of light, color, and sound.
Imagination, curiosity, wonderment, and good old-fashioned fun converge in the most epic way possible. All ages are guaranteed to have a blast!
Facebook/Seismique There’s even a room known as “The Hub” that will play host to future concerts and other special events. It features a 70-foot-long spaceship with over a million light-emitting diodes!
General admission is $35 for adults and $28 for children.
Facebook/Seismique VIP tickets, which let you skip the line, cost an extra $10.
Hours are 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Sunday, noon until 9 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, noon until 11 p.m. Friday, and 10 a.m. until 11 p.m. Saturday. Seismique is closed on Tuesdays.
