According to Roberto Fantauzzi, founder of Lux Entertainment, “With its world-class arts scene and bold, design-driven landscape, Dallas offers the perfect backdrop for Balloon Museum’s ‘Let’s Fly.’ We’re proud to bring an exhibition that reflects the city’s scale and spirit — dynamic, creative, and constantly in motion, always reaching for what’s next.”

In this exhibition, each artwork is designed to stimulate the senses through touch, sight, and sound, transforming passive observation into an immersive experience.
