CHARLOTTE — A new out-of-this-world exhibit has landed in Charlotte and now you have more time to check it out.
Blumenthal Arts is hosting the immersive experience, โSpace Explorers: The Infinite,โ at its new space in the Iron District, formerly home to Charlotte Pipe and Foundry, from Sept. 20 through Jan. 5.
โSpace Explorers: The Infiniteโ is inspired by NASA missions aboard the International Space Station and visitors can use virtual reality to experience 360-degree videos captured in space.
The exhibit was originally scheduled to close in mid-November, and Charlotte is the only city in the Southeast offering the experience.
โPeople want to see themselves in the whole experience,โ said Tom Gabbard, CEO of Blumenthal Arts. โThey want to touch, they want to feel, they want to see themselves in it. They want to be with their friends in it.โ
The exhibit marks Blumenthalโs return to immersive programming following the success of the โImmersive Van Goghโ exhibition, which sold more than 300,000 tickets.
โSpace Explorers: The Infiniteโ is open to adults and children ages 8 and older. Ticket prices start at $29.95.
The Iron District is at 904 Post Street.
