2.Cube of Art Uppsala Museum of Interactive Art

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 69 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $21

Step into Uppsala’s Cube of Art, a laser and lidar interactive black cube where digital art reacts to your moves in about an hour.

“It was a fun and unique experience - something I hadn’t tried before! I only wish the AI had been more advanced in recognizing what I drew on the wall, as it seemed limited to certain animals and objects. I also wish the colors, like the butterflies or circles, were more chaotic and vibrant, bursting across the walls. Since there was no roof, it would have been nice to be inside a full cube - surrounded by color and moving art everywhere. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this for children!”
