Museum of Symmetry

A kaleidoscopic joyride

Welcome to a delightfully disorienting animated world inspired by geometry and nature—and overflowing with infectious dance beats. Disrupting conventional game storytelling, Museum of Symmetry is an “other-dimension” VR adventure that takes you on a psychedelic romp through a feel-good universe. Come join us on this pleasure-positive trip in VR as never experienced before.

WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM

Step into the world of Paloma Dawkins, where up is down and silly is serious. This museum welcomes you to dive into a variety of artworks. From the highest clouds to the deepest oceans, let’s ride through fantastic landscapes of earth, fire, wind and water inhabited by strange and lovable characters. Are you ready to embrace the experience?

MEET YOUR NEW VIRTUAL BFF

Get cocooned by a spider, party with a crazy bird and ride on mantas under the sea. All of our animated friends have many rambling things to say about the meaning of life. Explore their alter-universes—and maybe even your alter-self.

WHAT EVEN IS LIFE?

There are no limits or dead ends, only possibilities and room for reflection. Perhaps the biggest surprise is not what happens during the experience itself, but how you feel once you return to the real world.
