STORYLINE:
 
Explore Asia, an immersive exhibition highlighting vibrant culture of five Asian countries including China, India, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, opens in Houston, Texas, the United States.
 
Asia Society Texas held a grand opening of the new 4.6-million-U.S.-dollar permanent exhibition on July 21-23.
 
The exhibition is the only interactive learning exhibition in Texas focused specifically on Asia, according to a news release from the organization.
 
Through an immersive journey to China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam, visitors of all ages can magically travel through time and space on a virtual bullet train, learn about delicious meals and treats (and where to find them in Houston) and more.
 
Houston is one of the most diverse metropolitan areas in the U.S. The exhibition is designed to spark curiosity and highlight the interconnectedness between the peoples of Asia, Houston, and the United States so as to inspire empathy and foster "a better understanding of our interconnected world", said the news release.
