The latest in a growing line of immersive digital museums, the Arte Museum, opened in early November at 63, the new shopping center between the Cosmopolitan and the Shops at Crystals. The entrance is in back on Harmon Avenue.
\u201cThe Eternal Nature Exhibition\u201d is the most elaborate and ambitious of this type of museum (Van Gogh and Disney at Crystals, Space, Safari, and Monday Night Football at Illuminarium, etc.), with several rooms of varying themes on two floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the lighting, mirrors, and maze make the Arte Museum more like a combination of the immersives and the Paradox and Illusion museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour starts out in the Infinite Waterfall room, where you get your first taste of the mirrors and reflective floors, not to mention the sound effects (a fourscore roar).<\/p>\n\n\n

You’re then directed (by arrows) into the Flower room, which has an upright piano for some reason. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

From there, you traverse dark hallways to the Wave and Forest rooms, beautifully presented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Star room is, perhaps, the most confounding, full of hanging light globes and hemmed in by mirrors.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The Jungle\/Live Sketchbook room is alive with bird calls; in addition, it\u2019s the only interactive feature we\u2019ve seen in the immersives. You grab a piece of paper with the outline of an animal and color it in, then place it on the scanner, and they magically and immediately appear on the screen. Fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then comes the Seashore room, complete with rolling breakers and Northern Lights\u2014don\u2019t get your feet wet in the virtual surf — unless you’re 10 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The last room is the climax, a combination of Masterpieces (Van Gogh, Gaugin, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Degas, Klimpt) and Light of Las Vegas, produced especially for this venue (there are six around the world).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rooms can be a bit disorienting and you\u2019re wise to be careful where you\u2019re walking, at least until you become accustomed to the spaces. Also, like all the digital museums, the equipment has to be kept cold and advertised as a 90-minute experience, you definitely want to bring a sweater, wrap, or jacket, so you don\u2019t freeze to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that the only bathroom is up front, so go now or forever hold your caprice. And other than the floor throughout, there aren\u2019t any chairs or benches, definitely an inconvenience at best or hardship at worst by the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You walk through the Tea Bar on your way out, where you can get a black or strawberry milk tea or caramel latte ($7 each). They\u2019re all served cold. By then, you\u2019d kill for something hot to hold in your mitts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t buy tickets at the door; you must buy them online in advance. We were there over the first weekend and attendants came out to the waiting line with a QR code and showed the ticketless how to scan it to get to the app and pay via cell phone. We\u2019re not sure if they still do this (but probably). Also, the tickets are expensive, if you pay retail, $50 Mon.-Thurs. and $60 Fri.-Sun. and holidays, $10 discount for seniors, kids, military, and locals. There\u2019s another $10 off for showing up between 10 (opening) and 11:30 a.m. But there\u2019s also a $5 service fee for booking online, even though it\u2019s the only way. Our ticket came to $35, which is about as cheap as you can do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
