The NFT craze just keeps getting better. If you have already visited the NFT Metaverse, now is the time to become physical witnesses to these NFT exhibitions and galleries.
Across the USA, Russia, Europe and Australia, several physical NFT galleries are emerging. If you are an NFT enthusiast, you should check out these novel art galleries. With vaccinations rolled out across countries, the restrictions put by the pandemic are slowly taking a backseat thus giving you the perfect opportunity to set out on your NFT adventure.
Before we go ahead and list down the 9 popular choices to visit, let’s recap our understanding of what exactly is an NFT. In simple words, these non-fungible tokens store digital data whose authenticity as well as ownership are defined by the blockchain technology used in their creation. Each token is unique to the digital data it stores and is not interchangeable like the regular currency.
Here are the 9 most popular galleries to visit this year.
The Museum of Art and Philosophy in Australia
With their 1st exhibition organized at 7 Campbell Street, Hobart, Australia from 16-22 June, the Museum of Art and Philosophy is the second physical NFT gallery across the world only after New York’s Superchief Gallery that opened its doors in March 2021. The gallery would put on exhibition the work of artists covered in the Museum’s print magazines – New Philosopher and Womankind. This opening would be a one of a kind event as it also coincides with the Dark Mofo Festival.

Hermitage Museum in Russia
The world-renowned and second-largest art museum in the globe, Hermitage Museum, has announced that it will be organizing an exhibition to display NFT art.

Art lovers and artists are no strangers to the popularity of Venice Beach in Los Angeles. The Bright Moments NFT Gallery is an initiative to take the common man into the world of NFTs through a pop-up gallery that will be displaying a plethora of crypto art available on digital asset marketplaces, SuperRare or Rarible. To educate the visitors, the NFTs would have a QR code that will inform them about the piece in display and also other art forms from the creator. The event would shed light on the increasing popularity of NFTs thus assuming roles of both an educator and entertainer.
While last week these non-fungible tokens were being redeemed for a launch with FTX’s founder Sam Bankman-Fried, now you can witness the NFT digital as well as physical art in person. NFT virtual art galleries are already a thing now like the Museum of Crypto Art, but these in-person crypto art galleries will provide a novel experience. In addition to art exhibitions, the galleries will also organize speeches, shows and other special events for the visitors. Top NFT artists would be showcasing their art through the exhibitions in these galleries.
