Van Gogh didn’t start painting ‘til he was 27. Then, with no proper training, created over 2000 works of art by the time he tragically died 10 years later – tons of which are some of the best (and most valuable) ever made. And here we are feeling chuffed we’d finished another mindfulness colouring book.
Any Van Gogh fan will tell you, there’s something about his paintings that make you want to step inside them. And the Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience lets you do it – with cracking projections and an emotional soundtrack, you get to wrap yourself in the worlds of Sunflowers, The Red Vineyard at Arles, and loads more. Our personal favourite’s The Starry Night. Swirling sky, crescent moon, spinning stars – dreamy stuff.
The 360-degree exhibition lets you stroll around, relax on chairs and forget about everything for a while as all your senses are stuffed to the seams with Vincent’s mind-blowing creativity. When you’re ready to surface, the Art & Life section has lots on info on what made him tick. And at The Studio, you can have a crack at your own painting and get it projected on the walls. No rude body parts please.
