The immersive spectacle takes you on a journey through the artist’s mind, presenting his work and life in a completely new way. Through the latest technology, digital displays and sound effects, Claude Monet’s legacy comes to life — transporting you into the impressionist’s paintings.
Created by Exhibition Hub and Fever, creators behind some of the country’s most beloved immersive experiences, Monet: The Immersive Experience has made its way through the globe. Coined as “amazing” and “well worth it” by attendees, Albany’s Monet Experience definitely shouldn’t be missed. Here’s why we think so:
1. It’s a phenomenal blend of art and technology
Monet: The Immersive Experience is special because it’s one of the only immersive experiences that seamlessly blends art and technology.

It’s not everyday you get to live a day as one of the most influential artists of our time. At the Monet Experience, you’ll get to do just that — embarking on a virtual reality journey that transports you into the world of Monet’s inspiration. For a small add-on price, you’ll stroll through the gardens of the artist’s creation, experiencing a more intimate perspective of Monet’s work and life. After the VR adventure, we can guarantee you’ll learn more about the artist and his mind.
