Hip Hop Til Infinity has ended its NYC run and has moved to the West Coast! Learn more about the LA run of the event here.
If you ever wanted the chance to put yourself right in the center of 50 years-worth of hip hop history, now’s your chance!
A new immersive experience is open at Hall des Lumières, Manhattan’s largest permanent center for custom-designed immersive art experiences, and it’s bringing the genre of hip hop to life with an immersive experience that celebrates the genre’s most iconic moments.
Dubbed Hip Hop Til Infinity, the experience is totally interactive and transports guests through hip hop’s different eras and regions–from the skate parks to the stage to the metaverse.
A video experience explores the genre’s roots while highlighting the biggest players in the game by playing some of the genre’s most iconic songs. A few of the artists showcased include Dr. Dre, Big Pun, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and more.
From a 10-minute documentary on the origins of hip hop to “Lock Ur Sh*t Up,” a mini museum where you can view hip hop mementos such as magazines and clothing, there’s endless amounts of exploring to be done.
And beyond the bigger exhibits the experience also features fun programming including live panels and conversations, listening parties, artist meet and greets, virtual concerts, and more, all of which illuminate hip hop’s storied history.
“Hall des Lumières is honored to host this commemorative installation celebrating such an important cultural milestone,” said Tim Ceci, Managing Director of Hall des Lumières. “It’s exciting to offer this experience to our guests, something totally unique from our previous two exhibitions.”
Hip Hop Til Infinity is open now through Sunday, September 17. You can learn more and snag tickets to the experience here.
UPDATE: To celebrate Hall des Lumières’ one-year anniversary, they will be hosting a “Free Day”! That’s right, if you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to check out Hip Hop Til Infinity, Thursday, September 14th is your chance to experience it for FREE!
