Ahead of its February premiere, FX is setting up an installation, art exhibits, and poster giveaways across the country to hype of the new X-Men-based drama Legion.
In an effort to take fans inside the fractured mind of one of the world's most powerful mutants, FX is taking over the Villain warehouse in Brooklyn and dubbing it the Where?House on Friday, featuring exhibits and installation from artists such as David Flores, Kumi Yamashita, Clemens Behr, and Michael Murphy.
The installations include a forced perspective art piece, a found materials installation, a light and shadow installation, a multimedia installation, and a mural.
Legion producers are also presenting augmented reality murals in five cities in the United States. Users can download the Blippar app when they find the murals and watch the artwork come to life. The murals are located in Brooklyn, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Fans that can't make it to the cities can check the listing below to see if their comic shop is participating in an exclusive giveaway where they can nab a special Legion poster in promotion of the show.
Check out insidelegion.com for more information including locations, dates, and times, and call your LCS to check availability of the exclusive poster.

Legion, based on the Marvel Comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, is the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a troubled young man who may be more than human. Diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. Now in his early 30s and institutionalized once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of life in the hospital: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza), a fellow patient whose life-long drug and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David's routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd (Rachel Keller). Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which David must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real.
A haunted man, David escapes from the hospital and seeks shelter with his sister Amy (Katie Aselton). But Amy's concern for her brother is trumped by her desire to protect the picture-perfect suburban life she's built for herself. Eventually, Syd guides David to Melanie Bird (Jean Smart), a nurturing but demanding therapist with a sharp mind and unconventional methods. She and her team of specialists – Ptonomy (Jeremie Harris), Kerry (Amber Midthunder) and Cary (Bill Irwin) – open David's eyes to an extraordinary new world of possibilities.
Legion premiers February 8th.
