Chicagoans looking for a new kind of cultural escape won’t have to go far this fall. On Friday, September 26, Rosemont ’s Pearl District debuts EXP, a 26,000-square-foot venue designed to make history, science and imagination collide in stunningly immersive ways.
Created in partnership with Montreal-based PHI Studio, a global leader in immersive arts, EXP launches with two massive VR adventures: "Horizon of Khufu" and "Life Chronicles." Together, they promise to transport visitors thousands of years back in time and millions of years across Earth’s history.
The headliner, "Horizon of Khufu," takes participants inside Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Khufu, the 4,500-year-old wonder of the world. Armed with a VR headset, you’ll move freely through chambers usually restricted to archaeologists
