New Monogram Experience Center Offers Something Extraordinary for all the Senses

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky - The epitome of GE imagination, the Monogram Collection™ offers luxurious possibilities for the kitchen and home. Now architects, designers, contractors and other home-industry professionals can experience these possibilities firsthand when they visit the new GE Monogram® Experience Center, located at the GE Appliances headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky.

"It's one thing to see an appliance in a catalog and imagine how it might look or perform in a kitchen, but it's quite another to experience it," said Valinda Wagner, center manager, "We created the Monogram Experience Center to give people the opportunity to interact with our products in an engaging and memorable way."

A theatre for the senses, the Monogram Experience Center is a 9,000-sq.-ft. complex filled with an array of stimulating and appealing spaces - all designed to showcase the latest in Monogram appliance innovation. Among the highlights is a professional culinary studio, where guests have a unique opportunity to prepare meals with a gourmet chef. Guests can also find something delicious to savor in the wine-tasting room, a facility that elevates the art of wine to state of the art. A showcase gallery with full multimedia capabilities provides further insights into the remarkable design and performance potential of Monogram appliances.

After a full day of sensory indulgence, guests can retreat to rooms at 21C, which was named a 2006 Hotel of the Year by The New York Times.

The Monogram experience extends for three days and is available to groups by appointment.
