Balloon Museum Opens in Los Angeles Inviting Visitors To Play in Immersive Installations
In 18th-century France, two brothers led pioneering experiments with balloons. Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier eventually invented the Montgolfière-style hot air balloon, which, in 1783, launched the first confirmed piloted ascent by humans. Centuries later, balloon art has inflated in popularity, serving as a highly contemporary and unique medium. Balloon Museum’s new exhibition in Los Angeles brilliantly proves this point.
