Bengaluru immerses in Van Gogh’s art

Missed it the first time? The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience is back in Bengaluru. This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on van Gogh’s timeless masterpieces, showcasing his colours and emotions through immersive art, all complemented by Mitch de Klein’s original music score.

The exhibition features a curated line-up of 70 pieces from van Gogh’s collection of artworks, including Starry Night, Sunflowers, Wheatfield with Crows, and Irises. The experience begins in an education room, providing context and background to Van Gogh’s life and artistic journey. Next, the infinity room offers an expansive space where visitors can immerse themselves, with numerous twinkling lights and reflective surfaces.

Finally, the immersive room transports art lovers deeper into the artist’s world. Bengaluru hosted its first Van Gogh exhibition in 2023, which used 6,000 lumen projectors. This new show, however, features 22,000 lumens of projection technology, resulting in crisper, more colourful images and a significantly more immersive experience.
