The current "it" exhibit in a variety of cities is the Immersive Van Gogh experience. I checked out one of the ones (there are 2, slightly unique ones apparently) in NYC before I headed out west. I learned a ton about Van Gogh and his troubled life. I had no idea he painted Stary Night in his first week in the mental hospital he had himself committed to and that it's said the brightness of the stars, contrast to the brightness in his other night scapes is meant to signify his withdrawal from the world and into the stars - powerful interpretations!
It was another unique NYC experience and a whole new way to take in art!

I am so pleased you enjoyed it too! Your photos are wonderful!
I recently discovered a podcast in which they were discussing the role Van Gogh 's sister in law played in ensuring that his work would be seen and appreciated. Apparently, we would never have heard of him without her efforts.
I love Van Gogh and I really want to go to this when it comes here. It's kind of expensive though!
I saw a review of a show like this in Paris... I so wanted to be there to experience it. I studied his work but feel I could still learn so much more about his life and approach.
...what an experience!!!
This looks like an incredible experience, Tamar! I am a big fan of Van Gogh. I would love to see this exhibit! Thanks for sharing.
