What can you expect at the Van Gogh Experience?
The Van Gogh Experience starts with a walk-through segment where you’ll learn more on the artist’s life — and how he gathered inspiration. Van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most influential artists of our time, but have you ever stopped to wonder who he really was? You’ll get a newfound appreciation for his work and perhaps even, his persona, before making your way to the Immersive Room.
As you step through the multisensory spectacle, you’ll see Van Gogh’s work swirling around the walls of 1612 S Stratford Rd. Some of the artist’s most known works (think ‘Starry Night’ and ‘Sunflower’) will dance around the room, but you’ll also see some of his lesser known art pieces. All throughout, a stunning musical track will guide your journey through Van Gogh’s oeuvre.

And after the mesmerizing projections, you’ll try your hand at being an artist yourself! Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience has a ‘sketch & post’ section where you’re encouraged to recreate one of Van Gogh’s pieces — but don’t fret! A stencil will be handed out, along with the necessary materials, so no need to be an artistic genius to express your creativity.
After unleashing your inner artist, those who want to learn more about Van Gogh can get an add-on ticket for the VR experience. During a few minutes, you’ll wander through Van Gogh’s mind, tapping into his inspiration and creativity.
Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience comes from production companies Exhibition Hub and Fever. The experience will transport you to the depths of Van Gogh’s colorful world — challenging what you think you know about the post-impressionist artist and his pieces.
