The Reel Store

Well, Frida is a symbol. People are usually interested in her life and work. This immersive exhibition was good enough, but it could be even better. People did not know where to stand to get the best experience.

A wonderful exhibition of Frida Kahlo, brought to life through video and projected pictures on the walls and floor . A 45 minute show was just about right and the staff were all helpful. If you can get to the show I highly recommend you go

Enjoyable experience. Looks like the walls are moving, and the floor and ceiling movements makes the whole experience quite mesmerising. If you think a little deeper about the artistic theme, you can get even more out of the experience. People brought their kids in to run around and play, but I believe it would be a more contemplative experience if there was a bit more quiet.

Visited the Frida Khalo exhibition which was an immersive digital experience. The venue is designed specifically for digital experiences which means the final effect is just amazing. The exhibition itself was breathtaking with fantastic audio-visual effects and a stunning display of the art work and audio narration of key details of the artists life. The venue has wheelchair access, gender neutral toilets and lifts. Staff where helpful and the cafe provides a range of snacks and drinks. The gift shop was small and sadly had sold out of most merchandise relating to the exhibition. The venue itself is close to several car parks, premier inn hotel and Coventry train station.

We were early but allowed to join the queue inside which was great as it was icy outside. As it is a continuous programme we didn't have long to wait before entering the first room to read about Frida's Life and work. We then went downstairs for the projected light show of Frida's paintings. It was impressive to see her work lit up on the walls and floor. It lasted about half an hour. Well worth the visit.
