Houston s Instagrammable multi-sensory museum seeks bold artists for new mural
Houston s multi-sensory museum seeks bold artists for new mural Seismique is on a quest for artists.

A hybrid of a Willy Wonka wonderland, the edgy Meow Wolf (the interactive museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico), and a futuristic theme park, Seismique features works by more than 24 established and emerging artists along with advanced technological elements such as projection mapping from 111 projectors, holograms, augmented reality, light mapping, gamification, and more.

Lose your sense of balance in this swirling art tunnel.Â
Iâve been curious about Houstonâs newest museum since I first heard rumors about its opening last year. Besides Seismiqueâs catchy name and the few pictures Iâd seen online, I wonderedâwas it a museum or an art installation? And was it worth visiting?
I finally had a chance to check out the unique experience last week. So what is it? A mixed-media museum featuring larger-than-life art installations that require no previous knowledge of art history to enjoy.

One has to wonder how all these themed art rooms fit inside a former Bed, Bath & Beyond retail store. Who comes up with this stuff anyway?
