Arte Museum: Interactive Art Installations
The immersive museum takes you through various nature scenes that come to life through advanced projection techniques. Walk under impressive waterfalls, stand eye to eye with digital whales in an underwater world, and watch flowers bloom as you touch them.
In the interactive “Tornado” installation, you become part of the artwork yourself. In “New York is Art”, the city’s freedom and diversity are celebrated with iconic New York locations and periods, interpreted through the themes of dream, variety and love. These Instagram-worthy installations are popular with visitors of all ages.
A Multi-Sensory Experience
Each artwork is accompanied by specially composed music by Korean composer Young-gyu Jang, and you’ll smell matching scents created by perfumer Marianne Nawrocki Sabatier from Grasse, France. Think of the scent of ocean waves or forest air that enhances the digital images.

Musée d’Orsay Collection in New York
A special highlight of Arte Museum is the collaboration with the famous Musée d’Orsay from Paris. In the exhibition “From Paris to New York — The Masterpieces Awaken”, masterpieces by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh and other Impressionist artists are presented in a surprising way.
You don’t just look at their paintings, but step inside the worlds that inspired these artists. Surrounded by light, colour and movement. A unique way to experience the French masters in Manhattan.
Arte Cafe
Conclude your visit at Arte Cafe, a unique space where art and beverages come together. Here you can enjoy special tea-based mocktails while digital art comes to life in the palm of your hand. The drinks are inspired by the museum’s themes and are served with matching visuals, music, and scents.
