So-called ‘immersive’ exhibitions have become big business in London in recent time, with shows dedicated to Tutankhamun, the Titanic and Pompeii all playing in 2025, the vaunted ‘immersion’ achieved via a mix of factors ranging from interactive sets to films to VR sections.
Now here comes a brand new immersive exhibition for north London, and while all the above mentioned shows were essentially tricked out historical exhibitions, this one’s a little different. As you might expect, the Mundo Pixar Experience is based around the films of the pioneering kids’ animation studio Pixar, and rather than a dry affair made up of stills and concept sketches, it’s basically a journey through a series of 14 rooms, one for each ‘universe’ in the Pixar filmography.
So we shrink down to toy size in Andy’s Room from Toy Story, explore the Monster, Inc Scare Floor, race into Flo’s Café from Cars to meet Lightning McQueen, visit the Headquarters of Riley’s emotions from Inside Out 2, and journey from Coco’s Land of the Living to the Land of the Dead. We’re promised each are will have immaculate vibes via beautiful design, exquisite ambient sound, and intriguingly ‘specially crafted scents’ to ensure each area smells just so (!).
The show has played Brazil, Mexico, Belgium and Spain on a world tour on which it’s won praise for the beauty of its its sets and generally being an all round great photo opportunity, even if there has been some grumbles that there isn’t necessarily a huge amount to do beyond gawp at the sets and pose for photos. Still, so long as you’re a Pixar fan and are onboard with it being a relatively light affair you should be laughing.
The experience will take place in what’s being described as a ‘purpose built venue’ in Wembley Park that will cover some 3,500 square metres of immersive space and feature one (unspecified) brand new UK-only space. If you’ve ever wanted to step into Pixar’s wondrous worlds – here at last is your chance.
Mundo Pixar Experience will run at a purpose built venue on Fulton Rd in Wembley Park, from Feb 13 2026. Sign up here for the Nov 19 pre-sale, or general booking will open shortly after.
