Has anyone been to the immersive Van Gogh exhibit? https://www.houstonvangogh.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-t_IqJnG7wIVj-HACh34iQf1EAAYASAAEgJjbfD_BwE My family is almost fully vaccinated and I'm desperate to get them out of the house and into some art. However, the $40 ticket price is pretty steep for my budget. I'm wondering if it's worth it.
What city are you in? From that website, looks like only SF/Toronto have opened. NYC/LA have dates posted (and Chicago has a venue/no dates), but the rest of the cities have no location or timeframe, which seems to mean they haven't secured a location, yet. If you are in Houston, there's an actual Van Gogh exhibit at the MFA right now, too. $25 adult $20 for teenagers/seniors FREE for children
I hear the one being promoted on social media in Houston is a scam. It's basiclly an empty warehouse and you wear a VR headset.
Looks kinda cool. Would be interested in checking it out. Reminds me of the TeamLab Borderless digital art exhibit in Japan. Is this one just projections in a big warehouse? What I liked about the exhibit in Japan is that there were actual physical lights, installations, and sculpted pieces for visitors to interact with.
Awesome that you got to see that! I missed it while I was in Japan. But I did go to Naoshima so I'm not beating myself up about it.
Yeah I loved it! I'm a sucker for immersive and tactile art exhibits, so I had to go lol. I was a little unsure at first, cause I saw so many visitors lined up and I hate crowds/being rushed through exhibits, but they get people in pretty quick, and once you're inside its a smooth and enjoyable experience. Didn't get to go to as many galleries and museums as I wanted since it was my first time in Japan, but I'm definitely checking out Naoshima next time I visit.
