Ace Mission Studios

This exhibition of 21 soundstage-sized installations has floated its way into L.A. Don’t expect mere bundles of birthday balloons: Instead, these pieces range from room-filling ball pits to reflective LED tunnels to giant grabbable bubbles, all inspired by air in some way. The “museum” part of the name might be a little bit of a stretch (though each photogenic piece is actually credited to a named artist), but the “Let’s Fly” edition of this touring show is a more fun experience than your run-of-the-mill made-for-Instagram attraction: Whether you’re bonking the bouncy “Ginjos,” pushing a charcoal-tipped sphere or getting swept up in a staticky whirlwind of balloons, there are some undeniably entertaining—and yes, very photogenic—hands-on scenes here.

After welcoming more than 5 million guests worldwide, the Balloon Museum is making its way to Los Angeles with Let's Fly. This immersive inflatable art experience lands at the iconic Ace Mission Studios and is opening its doors to the public on October 30. Featuring mind-blowing installations from 21 world-renowned artists, the pop-up installation blends contemporary art with hands-on experiences. Here you're meant to touch, interact and explore. From a visit to an extra-terrestrial planet to a collection of graceful bubbles and a kaleidoscopic fountain, these exhibits will let your imagination take flight.
