The good doctor provides an entertaining tour of the science and art of holography. Id definitely recommend visiting his studio to others!
Online said the shop would be open, I think it was July 3, 2018, maybe the 2nd. We visited while on a week vacation this year, and it was closed! So disappointed. I would suggest calling before you make the trip, at least around holidays. Maybe next year. Sorry for the 1 star but there is no not applicable choice.
One-of-a-kind place to see the products of holography. Dr. Lazer is incredibly entertaining and insightful.
Had a great time looking at holograms and being entertained by Dr Lazer! Great addition to our trip.
The coolest art of light and the coolest owner! Dr.Laser is fun, generous and insightful
Very friendly and knowledgeable. Really interesting place to learn about holography.
This place is a hidden gem of the city! It’s a definite must see if you visit!
A memorable experience and a passionate owner, highly recommend!

2022-03-10Definitely spring for the tour. Jason knows his stuff upside and down and loves telling you all about it. You will get to see things that arent in the main display, including the laser downstairs used to make the holograms. Hes also had a lot of interesting encounters with some famous folk over the years (bonus: people who know something about recording music should ask him about what local joint he spent some time at...).Covid put a dent in their business and now is the time to get them caught up. When I was there, they happened to be having a fundraiser to keep the doors open. Dont let this venerable, one-of-a-kind enterprise slip away! Every nerd and their kid should make it a point to stop by if they are in NYC and do their part to keep it going.Thank you, Dr. Laser!

2017-02-01Highly recommended! The owner will tell you a lot about holographs and show you some remarkable works he did with Bill Clinton and Andy Warhol for example. Very good hidden secret of NYC!

2017-03-04This place is AWESOME! I would definitely recommend getting the tour. Its 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 Im 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. Youll learn and see a lot.

2018-12-12I encourage you to take a class from Dr. Laser--youll love it! I took a wonderful class here, made my first hologram, learned a ton about holography, and had a lot of fun. Dr. Laser is a great teacher--he helps you dive into hands-on learning very quickly and explains the science and methodology of holography clearly and compellingly--and he is a talented and unique artist. In fact, I betcha the good doctor is the ONLY artist to have created holograms of Andy Warhol, Ed Koch, and Isaac Asimov. Add in the bonus of Dr. Lasers great storytelling abilities and sense of humor, and you have an unforgettable experience. Book a class now! :-)

2016-11-15Watch out, Bill Nye the science guy... Dr. Lasers in the house! If youre looking to do something unique while in NYC, put Holographic Studios at the top of your list. It takes less than a minute to see how obviously passionate and knowledgeable Jason is regarding his field. He takes you on a fun-filled journey (his second career should be comedy) into his holographic lair where youll discover everything you could never even imagine about this fascinating science. The tour lasts approximately an hour so if you want to be thoroughly entertained while learning something new from a gracious host, make sure to add 240 E 26th Street to your itinerary!

2018-07-02Truly a little jewel of a place. Check out or buy amazing holograms or get a tour of the studio. Dr. Laser is awesome and will answer all your questions and show you tons of fun stuff. He takes commissions too!

2018-05-03Dont miss this place for a unique and special taste of NYC mostly for the creator of the holographs - Doc laser. We are native NYers and discovered this by accident while trolling through the world wide web for nothing in particular. What makes this special is Doc Laser himself who personally takes you through the history and stories of the museum. While we were there, two visitors arrived - Illya and Andrea. Illya was dressed as a jester (we think) and with his guitar eventually played and sang a song he wrote for Jason.Jason or Doc Laser is one of the pioneers of holography and he is the definition of exuberant. Dont miss this NYC gem.
