2.Cube of Art Uppsala Museum of Interactive Art

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

At Cube of Art in Uppsala, you enter a specially built black cube with a 7-meter ceiling. Laser and lidar sensors let your movement, touch, and drawings affect digital art on the walls and floor. The one-hour visit suits families, teenagers, and adults looking for a playful indoor activity.

“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!”

“GYG997WAW7FX Envoyé depuis mon appareil Galaxy Dear Sir Our visit to Uppsala with a guide was a disaster! This was a no-guide visit! -The person didn't even know the city layout and had to use her phone to go from A to B -Any question asked about a statue or a site encountered, the guide had to look up on her phone - didn't know any historical facts about history or the city -offered to see places where she had never been before and had not checked or not - Had no basic knowledge of the place Being very young, Should she not have at least followed more experienced guides…”
