1. Introduction

In the UK, “immersive exhibition” has become shorthand for large-scale projection environments, spatialised sound and sensorial scenography—often blended with XR—to create the feeling of stepping into anzother time and place. The “immersive” label is also a marketing lever that widens the funnel to families and first-time museum-goers while recasting art and heritage as experiences. London now concentrates several flagship venues. Frameless, a permanent multi-gallery site by Marble Arch, bills itself as the UK’s largest permanent multi-sensory experience. Lightroom in King’s Cross launched in 2023 with “David Hockney: Bigger & Closer,” quickly establishing a new model for artist-led immersive shows. Outernet London, wrapped around Tottenham Court Road tube, uses vast 16K LED surfaces to deliver free, walk-in spectacles and reports weekly footfall in the millions across its district.
