Rain Room is staying at LA County Museum of Art on a permanent basis! Really worth seeing. Probably the most unique participatory art exhibit I've ever seen. They are fixing it up now, check to see when it's open again.

'Rain Room': Now at LACMA Forever | NBC Southern California

My previous post in the Fine Arts forum about Rain Room:

Visited this amazing interactive exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art called Rain Room. As the title suggests, it is a constructed room with spigots in the ceiling and a grate floor and one big white spotlight mounted horizontally to see a heavy downpour---and it's a very loud rainfall---pouring down. However, special (unseen) motion-detecting cameras pause the water when they sense your body, and allow you to walk, albeit slowly, through the heavy, soaking rain without getting wet. Simply stunning effect!

Rain Room is a traveling show, so catch it if you can, as it's definitely a memorable, once-in-a-lifetime sensual and (somewhat) futuristic experience.

Thanks for posting this! I was at LACMA two weeks ago and I saw the line of people. I was about to get in line, but I was told it was a separate $10 fee. I didn't have time to go back, buy a ticket then get back in line. So now that it'll be permanent, I will check it out at my leisure soon.

No, but condensation drips a bit from the ceiling. The Rain Room at LACMA is a fully pouring rain (but you don't get wet despite no umbrella).
