Located in Los Angeles, [F I F T Y](http://tickets.fiftyshadesmovie.com/experience/) is scheduled to be open for three days only — from Friday, Feb. 2 to Sunday, Feb. 4 — and will almost certainly be an popular Instagram destination for the weekend. “The world of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele will be brought to life in F I F T Y, a pop-up experience with six artfully designed rooms inspired by the _Fifty Shades_ phenomenon,” reads a [press release](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/universal-pictures-announces-the-launch-of-f-i-f-t-y-fifty-shades-brought-to-life-300587646.html) from Universal Pictures. “The immersive installation will feature custom art pieces, along with costumes and props from the film.” But while this new development may be a game-changer for fans of the franchise, others are questioning what the experience will actually entail. “Coming to LA: A pop up art installation that I can only imagine will include an Instagrammable Red Room of Pain and promotional ben wa balls,” wrote Twitter user Jen Yamato. “Or as one email describes: ‘the Fifty Shades of Grey version of the Museum of Ice Cream.'” > [](https://twitter.com/jenyamato/status/956268777091383296) The pop-up will be free to the public with both pre-registered and walk-up time slots available. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5117397/fifty-shades-pop-up-experience/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5117397/fifty-shades-pop-up-experience/"},"headline":"Get Ready to Experience the Pain and Pleasure of an Official Fifty Shades Museum","datePublished":"2018-01-24T22:23:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:03.034Z","description":"The installation will consist of six \"immersive\" rooms","url":"https://time.com/5117397/fifty-shades-pop-up-experience/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Pop Culture","Art","Fifty Shades of Grey"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltac6c90255f01a91b/6988b9b7656a3f70fabcebb1/fifty-shades-bdsm-relationship.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltac6c90255f01a91b/6988b9b7656a3f70fabcebb1/fifty-shades-bdsm-relationship.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, l-r: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, 2015. ph: Chuck Zlotnick/©Focus","caption":"FIFTY SHADES OF GREY, l-r: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, 2015. ph: Chuck Zlotnick/©Focus","creditText":"Chuck Zlotnick—Focus Features/Everett Collection","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5117397/fifty-shades-pop-up-experience/","name":"Get Ready to Experience the Pain and Pleasure of an Official Fifty Shades Museum"}}]}] ```
