The Exhibit House in Downtown Chicago
Chicago’s latest experience, The Exhibit House, is located at the Water Tower Place in the Gold Coast neighborhood. The location consists of three large, themed exhibits (shown below) to take photos in; Secret Garden, The Mood Room, and Disco Dreamland. It is now open to the public and will feature different exhibits in the future. There are a lot of fun spots to create content! Keep reading below to see my favorite pictures and to learn things to know before you go.
Secret Garden
My favorite exhibit out of the experience’s three featured rooms was the Secret Garden room. In addition to the beautiful floral displays, the mini rooms within the Secret Garden were very aesthetically pleasing. My favorite mini rooms were Rose Room and a little nook when you walk in that had a “Let’s Share Secrets” neon sign. Other mini rooms included Desert Daze, Butterfly Forest, Mushy Madness, and Living Luminescence.
The Mood Room
The Mood Room was all about interaction. Each mini section featured a different emotion, color, and way to get you involved. My favorites in The Mood Room was Peaceful (light blue), Fear (green) where you can throw away a written fear, Passion (hot pink) where you can put a bead in the passion tube that resonates with you, and Sensitive (coral pink) where you can take an affirmation card to keep. Other sections included Trust (dark blue), Mysterious (purple), Sadness (cobalt blue), Cautious (yellow), Playful (orange), and Anger (red).
Disco Dreamland
The Disco Dreamland exhibit was a lot of fun. It’s the first room you walk into in the experience and is decked out floor to ceiling with disco decor. You can take pictures in front of The Exhibit House sign, the sparkly walls, and even use a 360 rotator to take a fun video. Lots of opportunities for content!
