Problem: The psychedelic era encompasses many movements, such as Art Nouveau and Surrealism. The movement crossed countless borders and dominated the graphic arts for a decade. The Psychedelic era is often recognized for its flare added to the 60s. However, the movement's contribution to art history, graphic design, and other subjects is often overlooked or downplayed. Author Ken Johnson wrote a book entitled "Are You Experienced?: How Psychedelic Consciousness Transformed Modern Art," discussing how the psychedelic style influenced artists and the culture.

Solution: By creating an exhibition that explores the history of psychedelic design, viewers can look back to the artistic period that dominated for decades. Museums goers can be fully submerged into an interactive space while learning about the movement's influence and how it transformed the art we know today.
