Enter Philippe Parreno: 5 Moons – a world shaped by immersive environments, unpredictable atmospheres and ever-evolving scenes. 

Philippe Parreno is a pivotal figure of contemporary art. He describes himself not as an artist, but as an ‘exhibition producer’, orchestrating stunning spectacles and life-like cinematic experiences that think, respond and unfold over time. 

Inspired by the moon’s timeless presence in our lives, Philippe Parreno: 5 Moons brings the Museum alive across multiple floors in a dynamic, scripted production that mixes and merges film, audio, installation, robotics, light, wind, temperature – and a mesmerising school of helium-filled balloon fish. 

Parreno’s art is enthralling, ambitious, multi-sensory, and never the same twice.
