Beyond Van Gogh immersive experience, held at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool
Beyond Van Gogh and Beyond Monet will be staged on different days throughout what is now a four-and-a-half-week stay at the waterfront venue. Produced by Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group, the immersive Van Gogh experience brings together more than 300 of the post-Impressionist icon’s paintings blended with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of one of history’s most influential artists.
Visitors are able to wander through iconic works – including The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Terrace of a Café at Night – as they come alive around them.
The immersive Monet experience has been seen by thousands of people at venues across North America, and now it is coming to the UK, following in Beyond Van Gogh’s footsteps by being premiered in Liverpool.
