The Guggenheim Museum in New York is doing it. The British Museum in London is doing it. And now the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) in Washington, DC, is doing it. They’re all turning exhibitions into virtual reality experiences. SAAM’s first VR show is No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man. Burning Man is an annual art and culture event that takes place in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. The physical exhibition was in SAAM’s Renwick Gallery building and the surrounding neighborhood. The VR experience takes place on a social VR platform called Sansar.
