Los Angeles, CA. “Immersive Van Gogh” is captivating the imagination of local art lovers. The imagery of Van Gogh’s art appears on the walls and floor and is multiplied in mirrored sculptures throughout three galleries. Visitors enter and tour the exhibit with others who are grouped in the same time period. It features a 40-minute video installation playing on a loop. Organizers say, “To ensure your safety, and based on guidance from the CDC and other government agencies, our walk-in exhibition will operate with enhanced safety measures including face coverings. Safety is our number one priority for all guests attending Immersive Van Gogh Los Angeles..”
Located at 6400 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, the 55,000 square-foot dubbed the Lighthouse is the former home of Amoeba Music. The building was transformed into an art experience featuring a 25,000 square foot exhibit space where the art of Vincent van Gogh comes to life. Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter born in 1853.

Created by Italian film producer and exhibition creator Massimiliano Siccardi, the video incorporates 400 animated Van Gogh images and mostly original music by Italian composer Luca Longobardi.

Award-winning designer David Korins, known for his set designs featured in numerous Broadway hits including ‘Hamilton’ and ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ helped define the space. It’s one of twenty Immersive Van Gogh exhibits currently on display in the U.S. and promotors say is the largest.

The installation includes the Mangeurs de pommes de terre (The Potato Eaters, 1885), the Nuit étoilée (Starry Night, 1889), Les Tournesols (Sunflowers, 1888), and La Chambre à coucher (The Bedroom, 1889), and more.

This exhibit is from the creators of the installation seen by over 2 million visitors in Paris and a sold-out run in Toronto, the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit makes its mark in the heart of LA.
