The immersive Beyond Van Gogh experience is coming to Victoria

Share

Have you ever dreamed of stepping into a painting? Do you wish you could see your favourite artwork come to life around you?

Now is your chance.

The worldwide sensation Beyond Van Gogh is coming to Victoria!

The immersive art experience combines still and moving art from Dutch painter Van Gogh, allowing you to step inside a painting.

The experience features over 300 iconic artworks, including instantly-recognizable classics such as “The Starry Night”, “Sunflowers” and “Café Terrace at Night”, now freed from their frames.

The three-dimensional art exhibit comes to life through appearing and disappearing artwork which flows across multiple surfaces. Guests will be able to walk freely through the exhibit to take it in for themselves. 

As you move, Van Gogh’s own voice, set to a symphonic score will accompany you. 

The exhibit has seen incredible success, with over 2.5 million tickets sold worldwide. The event began in Europe before making its way to North America. 

After an extremely popular Vancouver exhibit, with high ticket sales driving the event to extend their showings, the experience is now coming to Victoria!

“In a rich and unique multimedia experience using cutting-edge multi-dimensional projections developed by some of the world’s greatest designers, Beyond Van Gogh takes on the challenge of breathing new life into Van Gogh’s vast body of work,” say the event’s organizers.

“Using the artist’s own dreams, thoughts and words to drive the experience as a narrative, guests move along projection-swathed walls wrapped in light and colour that swirls and dances as it refocuses into the flowers, cafes and landscapes of his famous artworks.”

The event will feature ticket sales by timed entry and follow all provincial health protocols.
