You know the feeling, the desire to get the absolute perfect Instagram post. The newest trend to hit New York as of this past year has been a variety of pop-up exhibits and museums, which are art installations that run for a limited amount of time. People enjoy taking pictures in front of a giant pizza slice or immersing themselves in a giant ball-pit of nightmares, just to get that extraordinary, unique post. Check out these pop-ups that are taking over New York right now!
The Nightmare Machine
It’s time to get spooky! The popular Dream Machine pop-up has now been transformed into the Nightmare Machine for the month of October. Located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn this pop-up features several rooms that allow for you to escape from “reality” as you enter a dream-like dimension, for this seasonal pop-up, your nightmares in particular. For those not into haunted houses or corn mazes, no need to worry. The Nightmare Machine is for those who want a spooktacular instagram post rather than a jump-scare. However, children under the age of 12 are not permitted due to its PG-13 rating. Since this pop-up is only available for a limited time, until the end of October, be sure to grab your tickets fast… you won’t want to miss out! Tickets are $38 per person and must be purchased in advance. For more information, check out their website here.
