Beyond Van Gogh- The Immersive Experience in Virginia Beach

If you’re looking for the ultimate sensory experience that will leave you feeling mesmerized and inspired, look no further than Beyond Van Gogh – The Immersive Experience in Virginia Beach. This groundbreaking exhibit takes you on an unforgettable journey through the works of the renowned painter, Vincent Van Gogh.

The first thing you’ll notice as you enter the Beyond Van Gogh exhibit is the sheer scale of it all. There’s 30,000 square feet of projection screens surrounding you, immersing you in a world of Van Gogh’s art. Combined with a beautiful score and countless surprises, you’re in for a ride that will fill your senses and leave you feeling amazed.

The experience’s emphasis on combining animation and still images creates a dynamic that keeps visitors captivated from beginning to end. A dream-like haze adds an even more surreal atmosphere to the room, as colors morph and shift to enhance Van Gogh’s famous swirls and texture-covered canvases.
