Were seeing significant change in the way psychedelic substances are used and perceived, said James Drayton, producer of Psychedelics: The Experiential Exhibition.<\/p>\n
My goal with the show is to, first and foremost, provide guests with an entertaining and eye-opening experience. My hope is that it also encourages learning, dialogue, and ultimately, destigmatization.<\/p>\n

Visitors will be guided through a series of curated spaces, each devoted to a different psychedelic substance and its historical or traditional uses.<\/p>\n
Discover the psychoactive brew consumed in the Eleusinian Mysteries of Ancient Greece, and open your mind to the role of ayahuasca in Indigenous religious ceremonies in South America.<\/p>\n
Take a trip through the Acid Tests and experimentation of the psychedelic 60s and explore LSDs current role as a promising therapy for intractable mental health conditions.<\/p>\n
Highlights of the exhibition include an immersive peyote installation with massive hypnotic murals by Clandestinos, and a fantastical video triptych by Alex McLeod, which will be projected into a space exploring the history and renewed popularity of psilocybin.<\/p>\n
The show will also feature a recreation of a 1960s Bay Area Acid Test, with mesmerizing liquid light visuals by Brotherhood of Light and Liquid Light Lab, former collaborators of the Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead.<\/p>\n
The grand finale will be a fully immersive audiovisual installation by director and designer GMUNK.<\/p>\n
