Featuring three separate areas, including an Education Room, Waterfall Room and Immersive Experience Room,  Van Gogh’s paintings appear on projection-swathed walls inviting guests to immerse themselves into the detail of his work and be enveloped in his ever-shifting, swirling and colorful flowers, cafes and stunning landscapes. In addition, the artist’s own dreams, thoughts and words are set to a symphonic score driving a unique narrative experience.
