Whether you're fascinated by the mysterious secret of Mona Lisa’s smile or intrigued by Dan Brown's famous novel, it‘s time to make your way to ICONSIAM for what could be Thailand's largest exhibition dedicated to the legendary Renaissance artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci.  Presented for the first time in Asia, Da Vinci Alive brings to the digital stage the works of one of history’s most revered art icons, allowing visitors to interact closely with his masterpieces as well as his inventions. The exhibition is laid out in two main zones: the Da Vinci Alive immersive experience and the Italian Renaissance Alive show. The experience zone is a comprehensive showcase of the scientific drawings and life-sized inventions derived from Leonardo da Vinci’s sketchbooks—from the iconic Vitruvian Man and his anatomical studies to early-age mobility machines and flying objects. A highlight is a room that reveals the mysteries behind the Mona Lisa painting as discovered by French scientific engineer Pascal Cotte. The journey moves on to the immersive Italian Renaissance Alive show, where the art and paintings of Da Vinci and other artists from the same era come alive in digital showcases that will surely blow your mind and hold you enthralled.  The entire tour takes around 150 minutes. Tickets are available starting from B750. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out กรุงเทพฯ (@timeoutbangkok_th)

Louis Vuitton has launched its all-new immersive experience in Bangkok, and it’s not to be missed.  “Visionary Journeys” is applause-worthy for presenting 150 years worth of Louis Vuitton creativity in a fun, stunning, and immersive experience. Best of all, access is free! Designed by award-winning architect firm OMA, led by Shohei Shigematsu, the exhibit comprises four parts:  Trunkscape, Origins, Icons, and Collaborations. Upon entering, Trunkscape greets you with a jaw-dropping tunnel-slash-time portal that features 96 vintage Louis Vuitton trunks surrounded by digital screens playing moving images. This steers you into Origins, a room showcasing rare vintage trunks from the Paris archive. The room also reveals how these prized trunks have evolved over the years and have given inspiration to succeeding LV products.   Icons, the next zone, presents the notable visionaries, such Nicholas Ghesquiere and Pharrell Williams, who have been behind the brand’s most iconic bags,  all presented in “bubbles” to symbolize a “bubble of creativity”. Collaborations reveals LV’s efforts to fly above the game through continuous collaborations with artists and labels such as Yayoi Kusama, Steven Sprouse, and Supreme, all presented in a 360-degree digital screen.  The show concludes in a room lit up by multi-hued panels inspired by the colors seen on booths at the famed Rod Fai Market Ratchada. Interact with the screen to receive a cool set of postcards as a souvenir.   The exhibition will be

The Suicide Squad
Warner Bros

The Suicide Squad

Release date: October 1

Don’t confuse this with the critically-panned 2016 attempt at giving life to a troop of crazy DC supervillains back in 2016. The Suicide Squad (as opposed to just “Suicide Squad”) is the sequel-slash-reboot, as well as an ambitious undertaking to overshadow the reputation of the original incarnation. It’s directed by James Gunn (you know, of Marvel’s Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy fame), so it would be interesting to see how the movie pans out.
