WNDR Museum—a Chicago immersive art and technology experience—announced an expansion plan to include several additional locations across the United States, with San Diego, Boston and Seattle locations scheduled to open this winter and others forthcoming.
In addition, the destination named artist David Allen as head of WNDR Studios, overseeing the creation and curation of WNDR's art, experiential installations and digital content.
The new WNDR Museum locations will feature localized versions of popular exhibits found at WNDR's original Chicago location alongside pieces by internationally acclaimed artists including Keith Haring, Yayoi Kusama and more. The new locations will also include unique, site-specific interactive works by local artists in each city, curated in collaboration with Allen and the WNDR Studios team.
