• New digital exhibition launched at regional premiere event in the presence of dignitaries from UAE and France government entities.
• Infinity des Lumières and Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre present immersive and surreal outer space experience for a limited time.

Infinity des Lumières, the GCC’s largest digital art centre, hosted the regional premiere of a new immersive programme – Destination Cosmos: The Ultimate Challenge – in partnership with the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC).

Running for a limited period from 11 February to 2 April, Destination Cosmos will showcase awe-inspiring visuals from outer space including supernovae, Martian canyons and footage from the Emirates Mars Mission and Hope Probe.

The premiere was graced with the presence of Her Highness Sheikha Latifa bint Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, alongside His Excellency Xavier Chatel, French Ambassador to the UAE, His Excellency Dr. Saeed Mubarak Kharbash Al Marri Chief Executive Officer - Arts & Literature at Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, Eng. Mohammed Alharmi, Senior Director Administrative Service Department at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre and Donato Giorgi Space Counsellor and Representative of the France National Centre for Space Studies in the Middle East.

An original and exclusive creation with MBRSC, built upon a coproduction by Culturespaces and the France National Centre for Space Studies to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Centre, Destination Cosmos will be launched with the aim to enrich human knowledge of the universe and contribute to improving the daily lives of humans – one of the key pillars of the UAE’s National Space Strategy for 2030.

Guests, after leaving the earth, are invited to roam the Martian canyons alongside the rovers (vehicles designed to explore the surface of a celestial body), dive into the heart of Jupiter, fly over the rings of Saturn then go beyond the borders of the system solar to explore the immensity of our universe. Wholly immersed in image and music, Destination Cosmos takes the public on a unique space adventure!
