Step Into a Painting – Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience

Step into the world of imagination and immerse yourself the universe the world-famous painter, Vincent Van Gogh.

Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is a 360-degree experience made with a cutting-edge technology in a 20,000 square feet space with light and sound to get you closer to the painter and his most famous masterpieces than ever before.

 

Interesting Facts  

The first room showcases Van Gogh’s most famous artworks and gives us fascinating information about the painter we never heard before.

Did you know for instance, that Van Gogh was likely unable to recognise the colours as normal people can? Research revealed that Van Gogh was likely using bright colours because his eyes were unable to distinguish the different hues of a colour that are close together.

 The next room shows how Van Gogh’s paintings would look like if we had a chance to step into them. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions there is no chance for visitors to really step inside ‘The Bedroom’ painting and snap a photo. Still spectacular, though.

 

Immerse More with VR

 

For an extra £5 you can immerse more into the unique universe of the painter. A 10-minutes Virtual Reality experience guides you through the life of Vincent Van Gogh and his world-famous paintings, including ‘The Bedroom’ and ‘Starry Night’.
