Avatar: Discover Pandora Exhibit Launches in December
A new live exhibition for James Cameron’s Avatar film, Avatar: Discover Pandora, has been announced. This special, interactive attraction is going to make its debut later this December 7, and it all starts in Taipei, Taiwan. This interactive exhibition is said to be part of a global, worldwide tour created by Beast Kingdom, GES, Lightstorm Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Consumer Products.
The exhibition is a 12,000 square-foot entertainment and educational experience. It will allow visitors to explore the scientific and wondrous discoveries on the world of Pandora. It will present Pandora as a real place, and visitors will be able to interact with the exhibition through a series of exciting and engaging immersive environments designed to highlight the diverse flora and fauna, exotic wildlife of Pandora, along with its culture and mythology of its indigenous people, the Na’vi.
The exhibition is planed to tour in additional global markets after its premiere stop in Taiwan.
Speaking on the exhibit, Lightstorm’s Kathy Franklin stated: “Our fans around the world often tell us that they wish they could travel to Pandora, and this touring exhibition gives us a unique opportunity to bring the wonders of Pandora to them. This exhibition has something for everyone, from fans of the film who want to experience Pandora in a brand-new way as they await our four theatrical film sequels, to families looking for an exciting activity, or to school groups wanting to explore science through an inspiring lens.”
Here’s a breakdown of the guest experience for the exhibition:
