About Hall des Lumières
Hall des Lumières is Manhattan’s largest permanent center for custom-designed immersive art experiences that exhibits entirely new, custom-curated experiences every ten to twelve months based on the work of different world-renowned artists and showcasing a diverse range of scholarly and cultural themes that appeal to a wide range of audiences.

The immersive digital art center is located within the elaborate former teller hall and vault level of the historic, landmarked Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank at 49 Chambers Street opposite Manhattan’s City Hall Park, which Culturespaces carefully restored over three years ahead of its opening in September 2022.

Since Hall des Lumières has been open, it has hosted two exhibitions: “Gustav Klimt: Gold in Motion”, featuring luminescent, 30-foot-high animated images of celebrated works by the painter as well as complimentary works by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, an Austrian artist inspired by Klimt, and “Destination Cosmos: The Immersive Space Experience” which utilizes content from National Center for Space Studies (CNES), the French space agency, and NASA to transport viewers to a maze of stars, planets, nebulae, and supernovae.
