If you love Vincent - let's Gogh and look

There is an immersive experience happening at my city, showing the works of Vincent Van Gogh in grand scale. Information about his life, copies of his work and a huge room with visuals of them streamed around.
I could not get enough of it. Here are some photos I took with my phone, and I was very glad for the little girl in the foreground.

They had a life-size installation to reproduce his bedroom in Arles. The woman who stepped in to look out the window is my friend and neighbor, Dani.

Another friend commented: “Sad he could never know how hugely famous and loved he ended up being”.
Another, highly spiritual friend, looked at her and said:
“He knows it now!”

They put us right in the middle of the scenes of his work. And since I am too far away to see it in person, these will more than make up for that.

It will be here in town another month, but the person I asked did not know the travel trajectory.
It is a simply wonderful, immersive, unforgettable experience.

I was in Amsterdam a few years ago and visited the Van Gogh museum. Spent hours and hours there! It was fabulous!

A couple of college student friends of mine went to that museum and told me about sunflowers in the parking lots. They were enraptured with the exposure to his work. They brought me back some coasters I still use.
