Normally, you're not supposed to touch the artwork at museums. But Superblue Miami isn't a normal art museum.
Driving the news: This interactive, Instagrammable art space immerses guests in light, color and giant, fluffy bubbles.
- My wife and I visited the museum on a recent hot autumn day when we were looking for an air-conditioned activity.
What we saw: Explore mankind's impact on nature with teamLab exhibits that project large digital flowers onto the wall. Touch the wall to kill the flowers, or help grow new ones in the adjoining room.
- Ponder your own existence with Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's "Pulse Topology," an installation of 3,000 lightbulbs that takes your heartbeat from a palm-reading sensor and translates it into light and sound.
Pro tip: For $12 extra, you can feel like you're in a big foam party by entering the bubble world of "Massless Clouds Between Sculpture and Life" by teamLab.
- Covered head to toe in goggles, ponchos and shoe covers, we felt like we were in "Stranger Things" examining new bubble organisms.
Yes, but: Unlike other museums, where you can wander aimlessly for hours — like the neighboring Rubell Museum — the experience at Superblue lasted us about an hour or so.
- Adult ticket prices range from $36 on weekdays to $39 on weekends — plus the $12 surcharge for "Massless Clouds."
- Located at 1101 NW 23 St.
