Welcome to Hot Impressionist Summer: A new immersive Van Gogh exhibit is coming to Miami.
“Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” — not to be confused with “Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience,” which just extended its run at Ice Palace Studios through Aug. 14 — will open at the Olympia Theater in downtown Miami.
By now, you know the drill: This 360-degree digital experience, from Exhibition Hub and Fever, is 20,000 square feet and uses two-story projections to explore the artist’s life and work. At this experience, though, in addition to getting inside some of his most famous paintings, guests can explore a special virtual reality experience in a separate gallery that takes them into a day in the life of the artist.
The entire experience runs about 60-75 minutes. You will not be required to cut off an ear.
Masks are required throughout the exhibit, and hand sanitizing stations are available throughout it. Ticket holders also get access to a special online platform, which offers a variety of online activities.
In addition to the two dueling Van Gogh exhibits, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is hosting “Lasting Impressions: The 3D LED Experience,” which puts Impressionist works by Van Gogh, Monet, Degas and others to music and enhances them with 3D technology. The exhibit runs through June 16; find more information at arshtcenter.org
