Well, let's start with some honesty, shall we? I did not read any reviews before coming, which is not my style. AT ALL. Truthfully speaking, though, art IS subjective. The great thing about Van Gough, is that he has pieces that have been seen, so if any of those don't resonate with you, don't go. Many comments focus on price. And it is not the cheapest activity in town, yet the same can be said if spending $ on a dinner for an "experience". Make sure you know it is an "experience" and not a movie. Read the signs when you go in, read the walls to understand a bit more of the history before taking in the experience and read the "whys" as to understand what pieces were used to create this concept. If you are going to spend the money, invest some time to the research. (I posted a tip with a link to help) It is moving if you absorb it in the mindset of what the artist may be experiencing at that time. If you don't know much about this artist, please DO go! Especially if you want to learn about art. Snippets of his history are on the walls by the snack table. As with an art gallery, prepare to stand, but there are few seats available. We had a date night package gifted to us, so we had a couch to sit on, but truly took another 30 minutes to stand and absorb views and perspectives from different angles. Take YOUR time. All three rooms do show the same reel with different views: Room 1 mildly immersive (if you have epilepsy, easily nauseated, etc. start here) Room 2 completely immersive art will be on the floor and cover your clothes. Room 3 abstract (reflective) immersive with mirrors Even though they forgot our drinks with our package (was an epic fail at the time, Ha!) I would recommend this to anyone, given that they are understanding about what this is and how to prepare to visit. Happy New Year, Yelpers. read more

I thought it was AMAZING. I am seeing the negative reviews and it makes me wonder what people were expecting. I thought the promotional material I had seen beforehand, accurately described the experience. It is a half hour display set to music. They aren't showing you one painting at a time, instead have combined them in themes that brilliantly move to the music. But everything you want to see, is there. Sunflowers, Lilies, the Night Cafe, Starry Nights, the Olive Trees, The Church at Auveres, not to mention a collection of self portraits. Plus so much more. It really was so much more than I expected. Yes it is a bit pricy, but I walked away in awe. But the most wonderful thing about art is, it is all subjective and no opinion is wrong. If it does not speak to you, you're free to think it is dumb. read more

Although beautiful and different I must say that everything about this event is over priced. We walked in, we're greeted and given a chip to trade in for a cushion once we made it through the door. However before you get there, there are drinks and snacks offered. $11 for a plastic cup is excessive to me, but then again maybe I'm just thrifty. We get our drink, take some pictures and then proceed to the door where we were told that the video just ended and the next one would start soon so we should find out seat. The whole time the video was playing a group of ladies behind us talked however they were screaming so they could hear each other over the music. Not once did anyone ask them to please hold their conversation down. The video comes to an end and we walk into another room that's larger and grab a seat and to my surprise, it's the SAME video!!! Like seriously? However now it's a larger room so depending on where you are sitting you get a different view cause after all this is ART. Got into the 3rd room and you guessed it, same video. Just this time there are mirrors which the images reflect off of giving you a different artistic view. So, we leave and return our cushions and they give us a "gift" (a poster) and then there is the gift shop. I love a magnet of places I've been and shows I've been to, however $13 for a magnet that's not as big as my thumb? YIKES!! Maybe I wasn't totally prepared, but this all seems extremely steep all in the name of ART. read more

Kind of a mixed review from me. First, while I recognized some of Van Gogh's work, there were a lot I didn't, so the fact there was movement, didn't really resonate with me as much as it might others. That doesn't play into my ranking, because it's on me, not them to be familiar with the basis for the exhibition. They do send an email with info of a companion app to download before going in. While I did download it, I never really had a chance to read all about it beforehand. Again, that's on me. Also, from seeing other ads for it, I guess I was under the impression that you moved from room to room, and each room focused on a different painting or a few paintings. In reality, there 's three rooms, all showing the exact same 30-min film. I guess it was cool, after we finally got up and moved 5-6 times and ended up in a good spot. It's interesting to see, there are some cool effects, and most of the music is nicely paired. There are some chairs in the middle room, and if you wait long enough, they'll open up. However, be prepared to sit against a wall or stand until they do. But then again, to pay $60-70/person to drive 45 mins each way for a 30-min film, I dunno. Mixed reviews. I'd be interested to know if true Van Gogh/art lovers though it was amazing or cheesy. Finally, know that while they require masks going in, nobody enforces anything once you're in the exhibit, and two of the three rooms aren't huge, so lots of non-masking going on and the increase in the chance you're being immersed in more than just Van Gogh. read more

What an amazing 1st time event for Tiki Hubby and me at the Monet and Van Gogh Immersive event for Yelpers. There was an easy on line ticketing process. Great parking on site, able to complete triathlon- snacks, cocktails, and shopping all in one location with a viewing of Monet like no other we have experienced. Every staff member was so friendly and just nice. I have seen Monet at museums in Dallas, New York and Paris, this was the best. Sitting comfortably while Monet and Van Gogh came to life all around us. 3 large AC rooms with a loop showing. All ages will have a new appreciation for the impressionist. read more

I loved the show! Very creative. Not much seating available but several exhibition rooms to explore.

I saw it in August 2021! Staid there over 2 hours to watch it 3-4 times! It brought tears to my eyes at more than one occasion and reignited my passion for painting! Now I am a full-time professional artist... because of this show! I saw other shows at the same venue but the Van Gogh immersive was the best! I saw it again in 2022 just for grins ;) You have to let it "soak in" into your core and soul to truly appreciate! I could not understand people leaving after 15 min (the show is 35min, on a loop)! Loved it! I wish they would bring the Gustav Klimt one but Dallas is not very receptive apparently! So sad. read more

I was hoping to enjoy this experience a whole lot more than I actually did. Unfortunately, it was an overpriced projections filled exhibit with about 30 minutes of overall Van Gogh inspired animations. I think it would be a great way to introduce children to the art of Van Gogh but as an adult I was wanting a bit more history and more of a museum like experience. If you go make sure to buy the right tickets and don't purchase the VIP tickets since all you really get is a lanyard. read more

Stunning. You have to experience it for yourself, in person. I went in expecting to see something visually stunning, I didn't expect to be so moved by it. Everything about this exhibit is truly moving. It's an emotional experience. The soundtrack that has been selected to go with the artwork adds so much, and see the projections all around you truly allows you to get lost in the art and feel like you're a part of the paintings. There's also something very beautiful about experiencing it with other people. Whether it be close friends or a partner you're with or other people in the room you don't know. The feeling of coming together to collectively appreciate art is perhaps the most emotional part of the experience & something I have truly missed! When you go, I would suggest the first time you sit through it try to be in moment without distractions. It plays on a loop, so you can go through it a 2nd time to take all the pictures and video you want, but the first time...allow yourself to be completely immersed in the experience without any distractions. read more

I Had the pleasure of attending the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit. The experience was excellent, I love Van Gogh's art. In this experience I was able to get an up close view of the intricate details of those paintings. I came away with a greater respect and admiration of the artist, and how much detail was in his works. I'm only giving the exhibit 4 stars because of the gift shop, terrible selections , and what they did have was tremendously over priced. read more

AMAZING!!! It wasn't at all what I expected, but then again, I didn't know what to expect, so... I don't even know where to start. There were 3 rooms that were all set up differently, and all played the same show. I guess I expected there to be different things going on in each room. With that said, each room gave a new visual experience of the same show. The imagery was amazing and touched me in a way I also didn't expect. Van Gogh has had my heart since I was in my teens when I had the privilege of traveling to Europe and seeing his paintings in person. I fell in love with his style, the emotions in each brush stroke, and his unique perspective of the world around him. This show touched on every aspect of his insanely genius mind. It brought his work to life and you could almost feel what he must have been thinking as he shared his beautifully creative and broken mind through his brushstrokes. This show gave me a whole new appreciation for the artist and it was an experience I will never forget. Stunning! read more

Honestly didn't think it was worth what we paid for. Been to virtual visual art exhibits and this wasn't worth what we paid. Yes the art work was amazing but wish the art was displaced a little longer. My brother went to the Orange County version where I saw lots of clips of the exhibit and his art was displayed differently and longer to enjoy the artwork. Honestly the circles on the ground kind of kills the visuals of the art in the middle room. Not impressed. Sorry, but save your time and money by passing on this exhibit. Maybe try a different one since they all seem to be a bit different. Just a tip: there a 3 different rooms, middle being the largest, but they all display the same visual art loop. First room empty room while art displace on walls only, middle room has the art displayed on the walls and ground, last room has the art displayed on the walls and reflective mirrors in the middle of the room. read more

This was such a cool experience that I went twice! (The 1st experience was with my girlfriends, & the 2nd experience was with my family.) All you need to do is come in at your specified time, & then you can stay as long as you like. :) I don't know how else to describe the experience other than it felt like going through each of his paintings. I bet Van Gogh himself would approve of this if he could. Also, the staff were very helpful & friendly. Plus, the gift shop had some really cool stuff to remember this by. read more

Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit Dallas - Self Portrait of Van Gogh - Art Galleries Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Not at all what I expected. After reading other reviews I expected this to be an awesome, multimedia and immersive experience presenting the paintings by Van Gogh...supported by new technology. I kept thinking to myself, what am I missing? I really had a difficult time trying to understand what all the hype was about. Big surround screens doesnt make for an immersive experience. This is something you won't see at any Disney park...or maybe you would, ten years ago. And I can't imagine this show ever playing Vegas. Let's get specific. 1. The venue is old and in need of many upgrades. 2. The event wasn't worth the price of admissio. I paid extra for premium status only to find out that everyone got a free cushion and I never got my free poster. 3. The images were colorful, crisp and clean. 4. Most, not all of the music was appropriate to the images being shown. 5. One of the overhead projectors shook/vibrated throughout the show. 6. Staff was friendly but not very helpful. Bottom line: If you like Van Gogh and you are familiar with most of his work, you'll enjoy seeing them BIG. But if you expecting to be wowed, feeling like you've just seen something or been immersed in something incredibly unique and groundbreaking...you'll be very very disappointed. If Van Gogh saw this he'd probably cut off his right ear! (Bad joke, I apologize but I couldn't resist.) read more

I absolutely love art and museums. Bought tickets to this in March for July only to have the date moved to August when kids are in school and now it's extremely difficult to pull this off on a weekday afternoon. Todays timed experience started out horribly because the museum is surrounded by construction, there isn't any parking or signs of where to go, the surrounding area is sketchy and there are a lot of stairs to climb. Once inside there is an elevator but you have to ask to use it. Exhibit itself is walking into 3 giant rooms (2 of which do not have any seating) and watching the visuals of VG paintings come to life via projections on the walls. The size colors and music are stunning -- it's beautifully done. But to stand the entire time (many were dressed up or coming from work too) or sit on the floor ruins it for me -- especially at the price point of $30/child and $50/adult -- very very expensive for a 30 minute video presentation and spending just 1 hour there. Finally there is no narration or prep or background on the artist. Luckily I knew the paintings and could explain to our group. They have a wall display with VG bio on the way out but it was too crowded to stop and read. It seemed very hastily thrown up and not at all up to the caliber of the masterworks the exhibit highlights. Everyone was restless and unsure what to do here. Confirmed must go to big museums and see the actual original works. read more

This just is the biggest rip off ever. It's $40.00 for 35 minutes of videos of Van Gogh. I was under the impression that each of the 3 rooms were different videos, nope. I am shocked at what the price was for the event and it's $50.00 on the weekends. Waste of time and $$$ read more

Feels like a sales gimmick: there is no physical art to view but rather just a 20min immersion. I should've watched it twice to get my moneys worth. Upon walking in you have an option to get a snack which is nice - alcoholic drinks and light bites that you can bring in. The immersion was actually nice but I was left feeling like this is it? They have separated and balcony seating, for some of the art it made me look up the life of Van Gogh. Very sad, and heartfelt. I can appreciate the art but who ever is making money off of this is a genius. Play the same video for 20mins on replay everyday and charge people $50 per entry at minimum.... why couldn't I have thought of this. Nonetheless worth the experience but had I known it was just a video/projector , I would've played it at home‍ read more

I thought this was fantastic! The music, the graphics, the immersion were all beautiful. You truly felt like you were in the pictures. It was so unique and gorgeous. The only reason I took off a star is because it is only an hour. There are 3 rooms and the program is aprox 30 minutes. We thought there would be time to do all 3 rooms, but were told it was over without getting to do one of the rooms. Overall, I would absolutely love to do this again! Even my husband thought it was great and he's not a big art type of person. read more

I have to admit it, but I love this exhibit so much that we went 3 times! Each time we found new little things that we had not seen the time before. We were VIP and took our time enjoying the calmness and peace of the exhibit! Can't wait to see the next exhibit coming to lighthouse! read more

I went a few months ago and just wanted to forget it. But I just remembered my miserable experience so I'd like to share it with anyone thinking of going here. Its just a bunch of projectors playing a video on the wall the video is about 40 mins. SKIP THE FIRST ROOM. There were about 5 stools in there and if you didn't wanna fistfight and old woman for em you sat on the ground Craning your neck to watch the video. Then it starts over... You go into the next room... And it's the exact same video EXCEPT The room is huge! No vents sticking out of the main viewing wall, a ton of chairs and Tables everywhere AND A SECOND STORY! Why didn't any staff tell me to skip the first room entirely I don't know. But the third room was just a small version like before except there are mirrors sticking out of the floor... It made me want to cut a Piece of my ear off. Atleast that would've been a less painful and cheaper Van Gogh "immersive experience" read more

Given how expensive the tickets were, sitting on the floor watching a 30 min projection of an abstract film and a "free" poster was not worth $60 per person. I have never docked from a review for price. But this will be the exception to the rule. Absolutely not worth the money, go to a public art museum or other venue. read more

TERRIBLE. I never write reviews, but I'm here to warn you - it's a total waste. The short version: Laughably low-quality production; Exhibit is extremely short ($50 for approximately 40 minutes); Limited and very uncomfortable seating (literally on the floor); Loud, disruptive audience and overcrowded; Rude staff; Feels like they're just trying to get everyone into the gift shop full of silly junk. I am a huge Van Gogh fan so purchased tickets well in advance for this exhibit - I live 3+ hours away but we were happy to make a day of it. I'm also a frequent goer of immersive, interactive and visual art exhibits. The problems started when this place rescheduled the opening and changed our ticket dates multiple times. They kept moving our ticket dates to days we weren't available and I had to send multiple emails to get it right. When we finally made it the "exhibit" turned out to be a looped video that is not even an hour long. You walk into a dark room - can't see where you're going, have to walk over people laying/sitting on the floor and hopefully find a spot to sit. Attendees were competing for lawn chairs - most were seated on a dirty floor. Our group had to find seating apart from each other and some of us had to move more than once to actually see what was going on the screen. The video production was unbelievably bad: none of us could believe how bad it was. The video quality was awful: blurry, pixilated, and the colors were muted due to the configuration of the screens. The video production looked like a high-school student's video project. Essentially it was a conglomeration of cut-and-pasted pieces of different paintings on top of each other. The "effects" were simple tools found on any old Windows Video Editor or Macbook Final Cut. I have seen better videos created from an iPhone app. The music was just random songs that didn't fit together and did not match the mood of the paintings and production at all. To say it was underwhelming or amateur would be a gross understatement; it is an insult to Van Gogh's work. When it was over, we all walked into the next room - hoping that maybe there would be something else to see - nothing. We were simply funneled into a gift shop filled with ridiculous, tacky junk. This is not for fans of Van Gogh, or of real art. This is not for families - it is extremely boring, short, and not interactive or captivating in anyway. There are literally dozens of excellent exhibits in every major city - this is not one of them! Spend much less money to support a real gallery, or even a movie theater that provides comfortable seating, quality production, and isn't just trying to shuffle you into a gift shop. read more

We were treated to this lovely experience on a Sunday afternoon There are three rooms that show the exhibit with the middle (second room) affording the best viewing perspective as it is projected on larger walls AND the floor All three rooms show the same looping video of the exhibit The third room projects the video on to mirrored pillars arranged in the middle of the room for a unique perspective I give it an extra star for the intriguing way in which the various works were sometimes animated and segued from one to the next Stars were taken away for the following things you should know that were in no way communicated ahead of our visit YOU SHOULD KNOW: This is a Sit-on-the-Floor Experience (each room had a couple of chairs or tuffets but sitting on them blocks the view of others around the seats and were highly coveted) I'm thankful I did not take my 2 knee replacements mother to this The Premium Experience includes a pretty "Sunflowers" chair cushion for your use on the floor You return this cushion near the Exit to receive your souvenir poster For the amount of time you spend (the video is about 30 minutes in length) the admission price is high We stayed through 2 loops of the show to ensure we had seen it all as it's constantly running so you enter wherever in the loop There are some interesting informational exhibits at the Exit but no information shared as to the titles, background or dates of the projected works themselves This is a sad oversight as it's a missed opportunity to cultivate cultural education and knowledge of Van Gogh and Impressionism I would have enjoyed it more if I had done some homework ahead of time about the pieces I would be experiencing We enjoyed the time but I would only recommend this to people that are moved by art or clever multimedia presentations read more

I Absolutely Loved it!! I was bought tickets for my Birthday and I was extremely Happy. I thought it was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was relaxing, peaceful and Beautiful. I'm so happy I got to enjoy this while it was here. read more

I purchased these tickets around May. So two tickets for 'Premium Flex' was $60 a piece for a total of $120. The staff makes a point to tell you that there are 3 rooms as well as a 2nd level to observe the show. Every room is displaying the same show at the same time. All chairs were taken so they give you a cushion to sit on the floor....ok? The 'show' is approximately 30 minutes long....and that's it. Sit on the floor...watch a projection show on the wall....that's IT. I'm not even sure what was included in the Premium Flex...except a poster but it looks like they were giving EVERYONE a poster sooooo yea....don't waste your money! read more

My GF and I showed up on time for our allotted time to view the exhibit. I was wearing a suit and tie as I was returning from an all-day business meeting. I planned on wearing nice clothes anyway. My GF was wearing an awesome black dress. We had no idea we would be sitting on the floor as the seating is extremely limited. I don't have any issue whatsoever with sitting on the floor ... I do that all the time. But we thought this was a date-night scene where we could dress up and have some fun. If you're going to make people sit on the floor at least tell them in advance so they dress accordingly. Otherwise it was an excellent show. read more

I got the lowest priced ticket available at $40 (+$2-8 for parking- their website gives you several locations of unaffiliated parking near the event). The exhibit was interesting, but the number of people scrunched up in the first room was uncomfortable, and the "exhibit" was a 30 minute video of Van Gogh's paintings in motion projected onto the walls, which was cool but short and didn't feel immersive. There's 3 different rooms, but they are all playing the same thing. The first room did have some cool mirror art exhibit in the middle of the room, but every other room was empty. I was hoping it'd be something cool to explore in every room, really this is something to sit on the floor and observe in one room, maybe watch it twice, and leave. For the money I wouldn't recommend, but otherwise it's a cool 45 minutes. read more

So so exhibit... I always wanted to see this so I booked it online with the cushion and souveneir admission. When I went there they gave me a cushion to sit and watch the show in a room full of people. The show was about 30 minutes long projecting some of Van Gogh's famous paintings on a moving full screen. It was okay, not that good, because the images were just shown with some background music. Wish there were words that went along with the images to explain what we were seeing. Also there could have been more to the exhibit besides the 30 minute show. But to make it better I got a poster as a souveneir before leaving. Meh read more
