Following successful exhibitions in New York, Rome, Paris, Milan, Madrid and Naples, the exhibition has welcomed more than 3 million visitors across the globe and has featured in the Emmy-nominated Netflix favourite Emily in Paris. The UK group exhibition, EmotionAir: Art you can feel, features twenty internationally acclaimed artists, including Cyril Lancelin, Miranda Makaroff, Sila Sveta, & Lucas Zanotto, and aims to explore the profound relationship between art and human emotion through the captivating medium of inflatable art. Visitors will be immersed in a unique multisensory journey through over-the-top, oversized, and unexpected immersive installations.
Roberto Fantauzzi, President of Italian-based Lux Holding, the creative force behind Balloon Museum, comments, "We are thrilled to be bringing Balloon Museum to Londoners at last, in one of our largest spaces to date. This colossal new exhibition features some of the most exciting contemporary artists working today, and we are honoured to have collaborated with them to present this unique exhibition. Prepare to discover a journey through some of the world’s best immersive, living, breathing art.”
From monumental installations that rise majestically in the exhibition space, to smaller-scale intimate works, this is a dynamic experience like nothing London has seen before. Artists from all over the world form the exhibition’s journey, creating a space where distance between artwork and viewer is obliterated, leaving room for awe, creativity, and wonder. Unlike conventional museums, Balloon Museum guests are not merely spectators - they can touch or interact, transforming the viewing experience into a tactile, sensorial, and digital journey.
EmotionAir will also explore the history of inflatable objects, from the Montgolfier brothers’ 18th century invention of the hot air balloon to contemporary artwork icons such as the Balloon Dog series by American artist Jeff Koons. Balloon Museum won the prestigious BEA Best Proprietary Format award in 2022 and 2023.
