Get 20% off tickets to the Van Gogh Experience in memory of the artist’s death anniversary.
Artwork from the iconic post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh comes to life in a 360-degree digital spectacle that’s currently illuminating and transforming the Exhibition Hub Huntsville Art Center at 6123 University Dr Unit 100 in Huntsville into a fully immersive exhibit — and of course, we had to check it out for ourselves. We were truly in for a treat, witnessing Van Gogh’s work take over the walls and encompass our surroundings through the lenses of several dozen projectors, hyper-realistic VR headsets, and other interactive activities.
After successful exhibits in Atlanta, NYC, London, Barcelona, and a number of other cities around the world, the mesmerizing exhibit has finally arrived in Huntsville. The multisensory journey through these famous bodies of work is an entirely new way of experiencing art, bringing every stunning detail to life like never before.

Here’s a play-by-play so you can get a sense of exactly what the experience is like:
First, as you walk into the monumental venue, you’ll be greeted by 3D renderings of Van Gogh’s sunflowers — the perfect opportunity to take that photo we’ve been eagerly waiting to snap. Get your tickets now!
As we stepped into the experience, we came face-to-face with the legendary artist through larger-than-life projections in what was called the “Face” room, before embarking on a 9-min intro documentary that would set up the rest of the exhibit for us.
It was a very powerful moment that was the perfect start on the artistic, multisensory, journey we would embark on — and as we soon would see, it was just a taste of what was waiting for us in the other rooms. Secure your spot here!
We later plunged into a walk-through segment of the artist’s key moments that took us through his hopes and inspiration. Painting recreations, video insights, and projections provided a window into the artist’s greatest creations. We learned more about his work, his relationships — and we even got to see a real-life replica of his bedroom in Arles.
Then, enter the main event: the transformative, two-story space that completely immerses you in his paintings— from of course the beloved Starry Night to Wheat Fields to Almond Blossom, to even his very last piece Tree Roots—in a way that merges art and technology in a completely new and profound way.
We experienced 360-degree projections (that cover even the floor!) enveloping you in another world, and we highly recommend you live that dream out for yourself as well. It truly felt like stepping inside a painting.
Once we left the immersion room (though that took us a while, it was so beautiful!), we made our way to the interactive portion of the exhibit, where we tried our hand at coloring Van Gogh’s most famous works ourselves. His drawings and sketches displayed all around definitely inspired us to create our own masterpiece! We hung our oeuvre on the wall of the exhibition to leave our mark in the art world before checking out the VR section of the exhibit.
It was a glorious journey through a “Day in the Life” of Van Gogh that took us through the settings that inspired his most famous works — including his home in Arles, France.
Last but not least, we bought our very own Van Gogh paintings and Starry Night face masks in the gift shop at the end of the exhibit, because if you’re not getting souvenirs at the end of an exhibition — what are you doing?!
It’s safe to say we were completely blown away at Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience! The magical experience truly took us for a whirlwind of emotions, and we have even more respect for Van Gogh coming out of it. Don’t miss out, it’s only in town for a limited time!
🎁 Plus, you can take a piece of the exhibit home with you at the online merch store!
