Shipping containers have landed in Downtown Miami to create an immersive “selfie” experience like never before, with 14 art installations, wall-to-wall murals, and a fresh scene for those who prefer to sip and socialize under open skies.
Take in Euphoric Emporium, your ultimate Instagram backdrop, which recently opened and will remain through March, off of the Venetian Causeway at Bayshore Drive and 15th Street. Housed in refurbished, over-sized shipping containers, each installation will offer unique immersive experiences, taking guests from the top of a skyscraper to the inside of a snow globe, through a room of zero gravity illusions, to the luminescent Pandora forest.
“Euphoric Emporium is bringing Miami a completely unprecedented experience. From the second you step foot on the property you are thrown into 360 degrees of multi-sensory stimulation” said Martin Hogue, founder of Euphoric Emporium. “Each room is more exciting than the prior. We want guests to walk away with much more than a great photo, but also a sense of imagination and an eagerness to come back and explore something new with each visit.”
Visitors won’t know which way to look as they step into a labyrinth of color and creation, working their way through the 14 installations, each featuring a different theme and interactive experience. Some of the themes include:
● Gumballs Galore: You might find you’ve bitten off more than you can chew when you step into a sea of 50,000 “gumballs.” You can always take refuge (and a photo) inside the gumball machine.
● Merry-go-round and round: Aaand ACTION! The camera is rolling in slow motion as you and your friends ride the merry-go-round. If the ride is too fast, don’t fret, you can relive it over and over. The slow’mo cam catches everything.
● Mirror Mirror on the Wall: Navigating your way in a room full of…YOU. Even if you get lost, you’re bound to run into a friendly face.
● Honey, I think I shrunk: Stand tall or give yourself someone to look up to, in a room that eludes the eye to rapid growth and shrinkage.
The outside of each container has been designed with unique murals by artist, David Bozic.
Take a selfie with an astronaut and get ready to blast off without ever leaving the ground.
Show off your flower power in front of the plush flower wall or strut your hottest stuff as you walk the catwalk with your very own set of angel wings.
Euphoric Emporium is not all about photo opps, but also about hanging with friends and having fun. At the center of the venue visitors can grab a cocktail at a full-service bar and lounge around the yard under palm trees and Miami skies, with free games and upbeat music.
