Van Gogh : The Immersive Experience closes May 2022

In recent years, immersive experiences have been gaining popularity and momentum. While the pandemic limited in-person gatherings, the additional at-home screentime seems to have fueled an appetite for unique experiences that engage the senses.

Travel back in time and experience the art and life of one of the world’s greatest artists. VanGogh : The Immersive Experience displays Van Gogh’s most famous works complete with explanations along with 3-D digital animations of reoccurring subjects that morph from one version to another, including a bust featuring self-portraits and multitude of Van Goghs' stilllifes emerge from a vase. Of course no immersive experience would be complete without the ubiquitous selfie opportunity in none other than a replica of Van Gogh’s famed Bedroom in Arles.

The highlight is a room with 60 projectors that covers 15,000 square feet (over 3 basketball courts) and 360° views (on the floor and walls) of 200 of Van Gogh’s most famous pieces. The show lasts 35 minutes and runs as a continuous loop.

With 5 million+ visitors and awarded 2021 Best Immersive Experience by USA today and ranked as one of the 'best immersive experiences in the world' by CNN — what are you waiting for?
