Random International: Rain Room

For the most part, yes—the installation uses 3D tracking cameras to detect each visitor's location and creates a dry zone around them as they move through the rain. However, if you move too quickly or there are multiple people close together, you can get wet at the edges of your tracking zone. Walking slowly and deliberately gives the sensors time to respond and keeps you driest.

Rain Room has been exhibited in multiple cities since its debut, including London at the Barbican, New York at MoMA, Los Angeles, and Shanghai at the Yuz Museum. It has often been installed as a permanent or long-term fixture at specific venues rather than touring continuously. Check Random International's official site or current museum schedules for the latest location.

Ticket prices have varied significantly by venue and city, ranging from around $15 to $25 or more depending on the institution hosting it. Some exhibitions required timed-entry reservations due to limited capacity inside the installation. Pricing is set by each hosting venue rather than by Random International directly.

Most venues have allowed children to experience Rain Room, though typically with adult supervision and sometimes with age or height recommendations due to the sensors' ability to track smaller bodies reliably. Very small children may not be tracked as effectively by the system, which could result in them getting wet. Check with the specific venue for their age policies before visiting.
