Portal to new ‘Stranger Things’ dimension in Barcelona
Movistar Centre in Plaça Catalunya hosts theatrical and immersive exhibition based on the Netflix hit
Stranger Things fans won’t want to miss this new, interactive and immersive exhibition in Barcelona based on the hugely popular Netflix series at the Movistar Center on Plaça Catalunya.
After having huge success, where over 110,000 people visited the exhibit, it’s now available in the Catalan capital completely free of charge until October 1.
From the entire set recreations to the impressive level of tiny detail found in each room, one can quickly see why so many people are so eager to see the spectacle.
This is no regular exhibition, but rather something of a semi-theatrical show, with the visitors – usually children and adolescents who are huge Stranger Things fans – being asked to take part in activities spread out through various rooms.
Visitors are first met by a lab worker in a hazmat suit who lays down the ground rules and builds excitement. Then, participants are taken through a series of tests to determine their supernatural mental abilities. In the way Eleven is tested in Stranger Things, you too can try controlling lights, levitating objects, and pushing metal balls – all with your mind.
After testing your paranormal powers, you can enjoy some downtime at the Starcourt mall arcade, which is kitted out with eight fully functioning classic arcade game machines, such as Pacman, Street Fighter 2, and Space Invaders.
Fans can also get their pictures taken at some of the most famous settings and locations seen in the series recreated in fantastic detail, such as the old Creel House and even on the iconic bicycles the kids ride in the show.
Between 800-1,000 people enjoy the exhibition every single day, with children and adults brimming with excitement. If you’re interested in jumping through the portal into a new dimension, you can visit the Movistar Centre on Barcelona’s Plaça Catalunya square, where this completely free exhibition will be on until October 1.
Get there early though as fans have been seen queueing outside the doors every single morning to get in ever since the exhibition opened in mid-August, with some waiting up to hours no matter how bad the weather.
