The exhibit will provide more insight on the artists’ lives and work. 3 immersive rooms will take you on a journey through Frida and Diego’s most known paintings, bringing you into the minds and dreams of the two artists through light, sound, special recreations and props. You’ll even get to encounter the corset and wheelchair that stayed by Frida’s side for so many years after her accident. The ‘Mexican Geniuses’ exhibit uses 360-degree video technology, so you’re sure to see every brushstroke, color, and detail of Frida and Diego’s works.
Towards the end of the exhibition, you’ll get the option to travel through an immersive VR-experience to Mexico. Descend into the afterlife and celebrate Dia de los Muertos as Frida and Diego’s paintings swirl around you, taking on unexpected shapes and feels.
