The "Back Room" of Omega Mart

I promised you more photos of our visit to MeowWolf's Omega Mart in my previous post showcasing the supermarket portion of the interactive museum. There are 3 floors to Omega Mart and each is completely different. In fact, some floors change theme depending on the room you're in. 

There's an entire storyline involving the owners of Dram Corp, the fictional company that owns Omega Mart. Long story short, the CEO and Owner Walter Dram has disappeared after one daughter (or possibly granddaughter) encountered The Source and also disappeared. His remaining daughter may or may not have tried to kill him in retaliation or to become CEO in his place. 

Your job, should you choose to stray from your trainee duties, is to learn more about The Source, join The Resistance, and break into the company files in order to take down Dram Corp from the inside. 

MeowWolf has several "chill out" rooms that are nice to take a little break in.

I don't want to ruin it, so I won't tell you what The Source is, or what happened to Walter or Marin Dram, what Cecilia Dram is hiding, or what powers The Source, so I'll just show you some behind-the-store photos and videos for you to enjoy. If you aren't planning your own visit and want to learn more, you can easily find walk-through videos on YouTube. 

You can spend some time caving or overlooking other people exploring The Source river or the village. Climb through the caves or get there through a tunnel in a tent in Recreation.

The flowers are watching, which you'll find out when you head behind the floral department, where you'll also find other interesting plants surrounding you.

Omega Mart can be a little bit much, or a lot if you easily succumb to sensory overload. Take some time to sit in areas that are calmer and have muted lighting. You'll be thankful you did. After several hours, Eric and I sat in the geometric room (seen in the first video) for a good 20 minutes. The music was still loud, but much more calming, and it was free of the crush of people everywhere else. There's even a dark bar behind the Pharmacy in the main room, in case you need a little extra chill time. 

I hope you have enjoyed my pictures and you are excited to visit an interactive museum the next time you have a chance. What are your favorite museums from your travels, traditional or non?
