Get ready to step into a whimsical world and walk through interactive, colourful, inflatable installations that you can touch, push, bounce and throw, and even submerge into.
When EUPHORIA – Art is in the Air was first presented in Paris, it welcomed a record-breaking 500,000 visitors in 99 days! Now it has arrived in London and offers the ultimate family fun. Just in time for half-term.

There are 13 large-scale immersive installations to explore by award-winning artists from around the globe, including Camille Walala, well-known for her colourful decoration of Adams Plaza Bridge in Canary Wharf, Martin Creed, Karina Smigla-Bobinski, and HYPERSTUDIO.

There is a giant ball pit glowing in shimmering black (and when we say giant, we mean GIANT!). Even the celling is covered with inky black balls.
There is a mirror room filled with white balloons dancing in the air around you, and another room which is filled with giant inflatable wobbler toys with huge eyes, called the Ginjos. Bounce them and watch them wobbling around you – it’s super fun.

The ‘HAHArena’ is a HUGE bouncy arena where kids and adults can jump around and interact with large, inflatable letters. Wait till the lights go down and everything glows up under the UV light.

‘I think, I know the way’ by Camilla Walala is a vibrant maze full of abstract inflatable shapes and arches you can walk through, bounce a ball through or crawl inside.

A futuristic room, called ‘ADA’ by Karina Smigla-Bobinski invites visitors to draw on the white wall with a giant ball charcoal sticks protruding from all over its surface. Every time it bounces onto the wall, the charcoal sticks draw lines, curves and all different shapes. It will also colour your hands grey, but that’s part of the fun, and don’t worry. Just use the hand sanitiser and the tissues provided on your way out.

‘New Spring’ by A.A. Muramaki looks like a surreal tree that produces endless mist-filled bubbles. Capture them and watch them pop in your hand. It’s so fun!

Sit on one the swings hanging from a shimmering galaxy of glowing bubbles and watch the bubbles change colours and dance.
EUPHORIA – Art is in the Air is designed for kids and adults alike to explore artworks that use inflatables as primary material for creative expression.
