The Friends Experience is an exhibit about the American television series Friends .
Described as "immersive" and "interactive", the exhibit by Original X Productions [3] features costumes, props, and sets from the show. It began as a pop-up in New York City, before finding a permanent location and being replicated as a touring exhibit. [4] The Friends Experience has been described as a pop-up museum.
