Van Gogh - Immersive Exhibits (members)

“… feels less like a museum exhibit and more like the Instagram feed of an insufferable wellness coach/lifestyle guru.”

“The perfect mix of traditional art, augmented by technology. The paintings come to life in an unimaginable way, leaving one in awe and wonder. As I sat back in beach chair, I didn’t know what to expect. The experience is cathartic, inspiring, and leaves one deeply emotional and wanting more.”
