The future of culture programming is rented, not built
Across museums, malls, airports, and corporate spaces, the fastest-growing cultural wins are coming from ready-to-install touring exhibitions. Instead of tying up internal teams, venues are booking turnkey concepts that arrive curated, produced, staffed, and technically complete – then deliver high footfall and media-friendly programming from day one. Ready to Show Art was built for exactly this shift, with a simple promise: your space, our exhibition.
Meet “View From Above”: Earth, as seen by a NASA astronaut
“View From Above” is a traveling photography exhibition built around the extraordinary images of Terry Virts, former NASA astronaut and International Space Station commander. The show unfolds like a cinematic journey around the planet – auroras, night-lit megacities, weather systems at continental scale – presented as museum-quality prints and a narrative that connects technology, environment, and human wonder.
Everything a host venue needs is included: professional wall systems, lighting, multilingual audio and exhibition guides, installation and dismantling, trained on-site staff, and ready-made marketing support. You provide the location and power; we handle the rest.
Plug-and-play logistics: fewer headaches, faster openings
The concept is engineered for rapid deployment with modular, museum-grade infrastructure that adapts to your floor plan. Setup is fast, operations are standardized, and the audience experience is consistent – whether you are a museum adding a blockbuster slot, a shopping center looking to boost dwell time, an airport curating a cultural welcome, or a company creating a public-facing brand moment.
A multilingual audio guide that visitors actually use
No clunky devices, no downloads, no QR clutter. The exhibition integrates scan.art, a mobile-first guide that lets visitors scan the photograph and immediately hear the story – available in multiple languages and designed to keep the focus on the art. Read how the audio guide powers the show here:
- Augsburg: How the scan.art Audio Guide Brings “View From Above” to Life.
- Graz: “View From Above” Enhanced by scan.art’s Cutting-Edge Audio Guide.
Together they show why audiences stay longer, learn more, and share more when the story meets the image—seamlessly.
Curated by The Art Fair Guy: a leading voice in touring exhibitions
The exhibition is curated by Gottfried Eisenberger – “The Art Fair Guy” – a curator and exhibition strategist known for building scalable cultural formats and advising international fairs. Learn more about his track record in the feature:

Premium production values—built to travel
Large-format prints are produced to museum standards and paired with a professional wall and lighting system that brings a clean, gallery-grade finish to any site. The result is a consistent, high-quality look that meets institutional expectations while remaining flexible for unconventional spaces.
Revenue levers baked in: book, print, sponsor, celebrate
“View From Above” is more than a display—it is a program. Hosts can unlock multiple value streams:
- Merchandising: an exhibition book plus premium fine-art prints offered on site.
- Corporate and VIP evenings: guided walk-throughs, astronaut talks, and partner hospitality.
- Sponsorship tiers: natural fits include aerospace, sustainability, technology, tourism, education, and local champions—packaged with signage, co-branded content, and private events.
Ready to Show Art provides the operational playbook and marketing assets that make these components easy to activate.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can we open?
With dates confirmed and access granted, installation is rapid thanks to the modular system and standardized process.
Do we need our own audio guide hardware?
No. scan.art runs on visitors’ phones with no app download and supports multiple languages.
Can we run sponsor events inside the exhibition?
Yes – private tours, talks, and hospitality are part of the program design, with sponsor visibility integrated tastefully into the environment.
Is this only for museums?
Not at all. The format was conceived for museums and non-traditional venues alike – malls, airports, hotels, and corporate lobbies aiming to deliver cultural value and footfall.
Beyond “View From Above”: a portfolio you can rent
Ready to Show Art also develops regionally tailored concepts—Natural Wonders of the Middle East and Architectural Wonders of the Middle East – each built in modular units for rotating or combined displays, ideal for year-round cultural calendars.
