Good news for art lovers – the immersive Van Gogh exhibition in Saitama has just been extended. This digital art exhibition dedicated solely to the work of post-Impressionism master Vincent Van Gogh was originally set to run through November 27, but will now be on show until January 9 2023. The exhibition, which is held in a 1,100sqm space at the Kadokawa Culture Museum, has welcomed over 150,000 visitors since its opening in June this year.
For this Van Gogh special, moving imagery is projected from floor to ceiling to give visitors exploring the space the illusion of walking into – and becoming a part of – the Dutch painter's revered artworks. Expect to be immersed in some of Van Gogh’s most famous pieces including 'The Starry Night', 'Sunflowers' and 'Cypresses', to name a few. There will be accompanying music to evoke the beautifully poetic and complicated inner world of the artist.
