Definitely book the tour if you can, I was amazed by what I saw, and you can tell Dr. Laser loves what he does. It's surprising we don't see these holograms used in marketing or storefronts more often, it's truly an amazing technology. Support this studio if you can by booking a tour! We can't let this analog technology be forgotten. read more

Jason is a very kind person. My mom and I went to his museum to see the holographic projects. We are all impressed with his work. He is a hands on guy- also spent time to fix my mom's wheelchair! Lots of thanks. read more

We walked into this place not entirely sure what to expect but it really turned out to be a very unique and educational experience. Jason, better known as Dr. Laser is super energetic and smart. He exists in a really cool niche and you can tell he's passionate about what he's doing. He has amazing stories and is very eager to show the various ways holograms can be created and showcased. It's not everyday you find a place that specializes in such a niche aspect of life, and especially doing it successfully, which is impressive in of itself. It truly is a gem hiding in plain sight, with such a rich history I was honestly blown away, no exaggeration. Dope place, dope products, dope people, an extremely dope experience overall. It's a place that really should be checked out. read more

This little neighborhood gem has been sparking my curiosity for years. We finally went and it was a great time! Dr Laser is so passionate about what he does and is having fun while he does it- it shows, and it's contagious. It was such an interesting and goofy experience I will never forget. I'm glad we finally went here before it closes in August- HURRY UP and go before it closes after 40+ years! Happy retirement, Dr Laser. read more

Jason ("Dr. Laser") is incredibly entertaining and informative. The "tour" (really more like a private meeting, at least in our experience) covers not just holography but a wide variety of New York history, the entertainment industry, and whatever random topics he happens to seize on--he is easily sidetracked and somewhat long-winded, which could be good or bad depending on your personality and patience. The one downside is that he uses cigarette smoke for some demonstrations; he ostensibly asks permission but isn't very receptive to gentle declinations. It should be easy enough to change this to some other form of less noxious smoke. read more

Jason is sooooo nice & welcoming! My friend and I stopped by today to check out random museums and stumbled into this one. I saw AMAZING holographic pieces of art work and got myself one. It's a nice chill place to stop by. Although the space is intimate you'll really enjoy the artistic atmosphere. read more

Holographic Studios - Art Galleries Near Me - New York, New York

Dr. Laser is a hell of a host! You'll get to see all sorts of holographic art and the awesome techniques used to make it. This is a really interesting and specific field of "photography" and makes for an amazingly unique place to visit. read more

This place is absolutely amazing, a little secret of NYC that I as a native had never known about, and I live 5 min away! The holograms are truly a marvel, and learning about how they're made from the zany and kind Dr. Lazer was truly a pleasure! I highly recommend this to anyone who thinks they've seen all there is to see in New York, because this place is simply great! And to Dr. Lazer, I'll stop by sometime! We greatly enjoyed your tour, but we equally enjoyed your company! read more

We did a group tour with Tech2025.com (we usually do workshops and panel events but wanted something different -- a more hands-on way of learning and thinking about technology). Let me tell you that not only did Dr. Laser not disappoint, he blew us away! Jason (Dr. Laser) is SUCH a wonderful storyteller who clearly loves science, technology and people! He was thoughtful, funny, engaging, and talked with us LONG after the tour was over. Hard to believe this place has been in NY my whole life and, yet, I never knew about it. Walking into his hologram shop is like stepping back in time. This tour is perfect for every. We had primarily adults, but we also had one child who was 10 years old. She gave me a big hug and told me that she was going to tell all of her friends at school about the tour and Dr. Laser (it doesn't get any better than that!!!). It was a unique, special experience that reminded us that learning about science and technology should be fun, engaging, and conversation. Thank you Dr. Laser! Huge hug! Charlie read more

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Dr. Laser today! We visited with our two children, ages 14&10. Not only did we get a lesson in holography, but we also got a history lesson about the area! What an engaging and interesting adventure through the subterranean studio where we got to see an actual laser used to make holograms. Can't recommend this tour highly enough! Fun facts, entertaining host and fascinating science all combined to make this a fun and educational adventure!! read more

Holographic Studios - Family fun at Holographic Studios! - Art Galleries Near Me - New York, New York

Truly mind-bending. Must see holograms in person, no picture is equivalent. Doctor Laz(s?)er is a great guy, had several widely fascinating discussions. Really cool place. Thanks again :))) -Eric read more

Dr. Laser has something for everyone! My family thoroughly enjoyed touring the studio and getting to see all the smoke and mirrors behind the holographic images! Recommend for a fun afternoon treat any day!! read more

I didn't stay for long, but Dr. Laser was very friendly and turned on the lights for me when I walked into the store to peruse. He's passionate about the job, and overall, the vibe of the store was cool and retro. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

So...if you're looking for something fun that is not Times Square or Madison Square Garden but still looking for fun with lasers, you could not make a mistake with a visit to Holographic Studios! First, Dr. Laser is amazingly fun as both a tour guide but just as a wealth of knowledge about the history and evolution of holographs! I highly recommend this guided tour to ANYONE and EVERYONE -- New Yorkers and/or tourists -- who wants to visit something off the beaten path. Seriously, GO! read more

One of my friends from Canada was in town visiting for a week. He found out about this place and suggested we go to it and I decided to check it out. It was just the 2 of us doing a group tour so we pretty much got a private tour and it was great! I was pleasantly surprised to discover this little secret of our city has been around for quite a while actually! We were greeted by Dr. Laser and Jimmy who worked there and learned about some of the history of holography, how holograms are made, the kind of work Dr. Laser has done and continues to do, and overall just had a great, interactive time. He talks to you about the history of the place and how things really work (along with showing off a couple of cool tricks in a dark and totally not scary basement :) ). Overall, had a great experience and picked up some cool souvenirs. Would definitely recommend to check out if you've got about an hour to kill in the city and you book ahead! read more

I found this museum on Yelp but when I came by, the place looked so shabby I thought it must have been a mistake but thank God I knocked anyways because Doc Laser (the owner and tour guider) is AWESOME. I wanted to know about holograms and he had a two hour discussion with me in detail about how they work and showing me all the different effects. He must tell the Same information everyday to tons of people, but he spoke to me with the same enthusiasm as a big tour group! Even though I'm a random non paying art student. I can't speak for the tours (which I hear are awesome!) but you should go in just to meet doc Laser and learn about holograms! read more

This place is AWESOME! I would definitely recommend getting the tour. It's well worth the price! Dr. Laser is super funny and puts on quite a show when presenting the science behind holograms. He could be compared to Bill Nye the Science Guy for adults, but I'm sure he could appeal to kids as well. The art in the museum is spectacular, but the lasers shown on the tour are really really cool. You'll learn and see a lot. read more

Doc Laser is super fun and cool. He has a breadth of knowledge related to holographic art and his studio is definitely unique. I would definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Had a great time here last night with my brother, his wife, and my fiancé! Dr. Sapan was so excited to show us every hologram and answer all of our questions. Instead of getting annoyed with our plethora of questions, he answered everything happily and comedically and our stay turned into a multiple hour one. The artwork presented was extremely cool. Holograms are pretty magical. read more

Very interesting artwork! The holograms were way more interesting than I had imagined. There was an interesting array of older and newer works. The newer stuff was jaw dropping; I had no idea how detailed or how large holograms had gotten. read more

Jason's the best!!!! Definitely come check out this small museum when you have the time. Jason has a lot to say about his medium, and his passion for holography is clear. read more

The Holographic studios is a true NYC gem!!! I enjoyed my visit and learnt all about holography and light. Visitors are welcome to explore the gallery, and if you ever need to make holograms or optical illusions/laser shows for events, this is the place to go. I highly recommend paying a visit, for tourists and new yorkers alike. read more

One of those places few people know about that is SO New York. I am giving this local place a plug because I want them to thrive. Had such a great visit. Will return with out of town guests. read more

An unexpected gem in NYC. The owner, Doc Laser, was extremely gracious and excited to share with us all sorts of great stories, holograms, and education on the process. The gallery had the best holograms I have ever seen. Although the place was small, it had character, tons of cool things to see, plenty of pop culture history (Andy Warhol, Klaus Nomi, the list goes on!), and we all were so enthralled with our conversations with the owner that almost two hours went by in a flash! We hope to return again someday. read more

We just visited the studio and had such a great time. The man there (his name may be Ed but not sure) was super friendly and knowledgeable about holography. We've never met someone so passionate about their work. All the holographic images were amazing. Pictures really don't do them justice. read more
