Van Gogh London Exhibit: The Immersive Experience (2024)

FAQs

Is the Van Gogh exhibit worth it in London? ›

Thoroughly enjoyed learning about Van Gogh's life and seeing his incredible art through the Immersive experience. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy art and have a passion for it.

The visit will take around 90 minutes.

The immersive experience was spectacular. We learned so much more about Van Gogh and his tragic demise. The virtual experience is a must at the end and we also enjoyed creating our own art!

The projections animate the floor and all the walls around the visitors, creating a great immersive experience. The sound and light show lasts 35 minutes and runs on a loop with no beginning or end. Extra rooms: There is a dedicated space for digital art study of the flowers painted by Van Gogh.

How long do you need to tour the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam? Even if you're short on time, you can still see the museum's highlights in 1 to 1.5 hours. But trust us, if you can, try to set aside some extra time.

Pre-Booked Tickets

If no suitable timeslot is available, latecomers may be refused entry. Tickets purchased via the Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience website will be offered a 'print at home' facility. Tickets can also be kept on mobile phones for scanning.

VIP Access - Includes entry to the exhibition, entry to the VR experience with skip-the-line, and a Starry Night poster.

Since the experience typically lasts around one hour we recommend comfortable shoes, there is however no dress code - whatever makes you feel comfortable to ensure that you can fully enjoy the experience!

That ticket price included a cushion rental (because most of the seating was on the floor), and once you turned back in the cushion, you received a poster of one of Van Gogh's self-portraits.

Which is better imagine Van Gogh or immersive experience? ›

Verdict: If you prefer a closer representation of Van Gogh's paintings, “Imagine Van Gogh” is the one to visit. If you're seeking something closer to an IMAX experience, “Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” could be the better choice.

If you're like me (that is, an inexperienced art appreciator who likes a road map), the placards are a must-stop before the experience. There's also a half-hour audio tour on the free Lighthouse Immersive app that will help prep you beforehand. Or you can find lots of Van Gogh art guides like this one online.

The installation includes the Mangeurs de pommes de terre (The Potato Eaters, 1885), the Nuit étoilée (Starry Night, 1889), Les Tournesols (Sunflowers, 1888), and La Chambre à coucher (The Bedroom, 1889), and so much more.

Witness over 300 masterpieces, including instantly recognisable classics such as “The Starry Night”, “Sunflowers” and “Café Terrace at Night”, now freed from their frames. Van Gogh's art comes to life by appearing and disappearing, flowing across multiple surfaces, and heightening the senses with their immense detail.
