VR Museum Exhibitions

The Smithsonian Offers a Virtual Experience on a Social VR Platform

The 'No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man' exhibition at the Smithsonian has now been turned into a VR museum experience thanks to a partnership with Intel and Linden Lab, also known as the creators of Second Life.

Museums around the world are now catering to modern audiences with tech-enhanced exhibitions to offer enhanced, interactive and engaging experiences for visitors of all ages. On the social virtual reality platform Sansar by Linden Lab, people may now virtually immerse themselves in a tour of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's No Spectators.

No Spectators is an exhibit that offers a close-up look at some of the incredible artworks that were made for Burning Man in Nevada but takes them out of the desert setting for which they were originally created.
