Located in major cities and tourism destinations around the world, these custom-designed venues, or “Illuminariums,” will surround visitors in a sensory experience, using advanced laser projection mapping and sound systems to transport guests to places they may never otherwise visit: the world’s best safari, an expedition to Mars, or even a trip back in time to visit ancient civilizations. After hours, Illuminariums will transform into unique spaces for corporate and private events, as well as immersive club/bar experiences. As museums are to art, cinemas are to movies, Illuminariums are to experiential entertainment.
