Immersive Vincent Van Gogh Exhibit Coming To Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA — Vincent van Gogh is one artist many people are familiar with, "Starry Night" being his most famous piece. And art aficionados and neophytes alike can soon experience his work via an immersive digital exhibit in Philadelphia.

"Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience" is coming to Philadelphia this summer. Entertainment producer Exhibition Hub is bringing its exhibit to Philly after seeing success in Europe.

The 360-degree, immersive digital art experience allows visitors to take a journey into the incomparable universe of Vincent van Gogh. Attendees will be able to experience van Gogh’s work on walls via 360-degree digital projections and one-of-a-kind virtual reality experience.

Visitors get immersed directly into the paintings themselves and become the eyes of van Gogh, an element that differentiates this experience from other similarly immersive exhibits.

The exhibit will open in August in a location yet to be announced.

It will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The exhibit lasts 60 to 75 minutes.

Tickets start at $34.90 for adults and $19.90 for children. Kids 4 and younger get in for free.

"We believe there is a pent-up demand for immersive entertainment in a COVID-safe environment," said Mario Iacampo, CEO of Exhibition Hub. "As the world slowly returns to normal, Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience allows people to once again gather and enjoy art and entertainment in a safe, socially distanced manner."

Visitors will be required to wear face masks at all times and must adhere to anti-coronavirus transmission protocols as outlined by the CDC. Hand sanitizer stations will be available to visitors on-site.
