Have you ever dreamt of stepping inside a Van Gogh painting? Well now you can!

Housed inside a 19th-century stable building of 20,000 square feet, Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience uses cutting-edge light and sound technology to project the artist's greatest works onto the walls of a two-story room, revealing his brilliance in 360 degrees.

Through the magic of virtual reality you'll be able to explore his life and work like never before, totally immersing yourself in his world by walking alongside him during a A Day in the Life of the Artist in Arles France.

Sixty digital projectors throw over 200 works onto the walls and floors, animating the room all around the visitors -- you'll be standing amidst his sunflowers, underneath his beautiful blossom trees, staring up at the swirling birds, and nosing around his quaint little bedroom.

There will be a special focus on eight of his most iconic works, including The Starry Night, A Wheatfield with Crows and a reconstruction of The Bedroom.

You'll be able to see how he painted flowers by going up close to his brushstrokes, watch a documentary on his painting techniques, and even awaken your own creativity by making and displaying your own masterpiece!
