Wonderland Dreams is the newest interactive experience to grace New York City. A creation by the renowned Alexa Meade, it is a hand-painted immersive exhibit taking guests on a journey into Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. A larger-than-life tea party, the famous rabbit hole, and the secret rose garden are only a few of the 20 dreamscapes that put you inside the artwork.
Through September 2023, ticket holders can step off the streets of New York into the world’s largest painting. This whimsical exhibit brings both 2D and 3D art to life from floor to ceiling, with no space left untouched. From the moment you walk in expect the unexpected and journey into the mind of Alice and Alexa.
Walk down the rainbow stairs to begin the art journey that will turn your world upside down. Become a part of the Wonderland journey with painted costumes, props, and interactive moments. Known for her human paintwork, be sure to interact with the actors painted from head to toe, looking like they escaped from the Modern Museum of Art. Play a human-sized game of chess, crawl through tiny houses, “eat your cake” at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and sneak through a secret rose garden. When you put on color-bending glasses and walk-through varying rooms, things get trippy.
Alex has been working on this otherworldly project since 2018 and the New York rendition took almost 2,000 gallons of paint and two months to curate in the 26,000 sq. ft space.
Wonderland Dreams also boasts an interactive wine bar and café bites, baked goods, and mixed drinks that play with the theme. Try your own handing at painting and pick up masterpieces to take home in the gift shop. There is also a back room where you can host your very own event with museum access.
