Burning Man is an enigmatic music festival that attracts more than 70,000 revelers to the barren Black Rock Desert of Nevada for a week. And then, seemingly as soon as the crowd arrives, it’s gone, leaving barely a whisper of its existence. Take a look behind the scenes of this concert with a cult following at No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man at the Renwick Gallery, a temporary exhibit that runs through next January.

Some of the art installations take up entire rooms of the gallery, making guests feel as though they’ve actually been plunked down in the middle of the desert music fest. Explore costumes and jewelry ripped right from the concert-goers, many of whom served as consultants to give this exhibit its authentic feel. You’ll understand the title No Spectators as soon as you step into this immersive exhibit that invites guests to interact with it.
