THE REEL STORE, COVENTRY – THE UK’S FIRST PERMANENT IMMERSIVE DIGITAL ART GALLERY
EXPECT A 360-DEGREE EXPERIENCE, SUITABLE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Coventry City of Culture Trust opened the UK’s first permanent immersive digital art gallery, The Reel Store, in May 2022.
Following on from the huge popularity of immersive art spaces around the world, the space now features innovative art commissions and is a permanent new visitor attraction in the heart of the city.
Housed in the old reel store at the former home of the Coventry Evening Telegraph newspaper, a space that once held the rolls of paper that the city’s stories were printed on is now hosting world renowned artists at a whole new scale.
There is an excellent café to enjoy with some great gifts to share as souvenirs and presents.
The main 800m2 exhibition space houses a large projection mapping canvas with multiple high quality video projectors and an immersive sound system.
