This was a unique and interesting date night adventure. We are NOT well versed in art, but familiar with Van Gogh's most popular pieces. It was fascinating to learn about Van Gogh's life, and the controversial ear incident!
There were a few pieces that played with the lighting and multidimensional aspects of Van Gogh's art. You had to sit and simply enjoy
art being displayed in non traditional ways. For someone who is constantly moving and multitasking; this was a truly immersive exhibit that forced me to be still. We arrived around 6pm which was the latest time slot available. There were a handful of people in the exhibit, which made it feel as if we had the entire space to ourselves. The huge room with 360 projectors of art was awesome and THE BEST part of the exhibit. Fishes swam under your feet and above your head, and you sit to enjoy it all. We had VIP passes which included 2 posters, and the $5 VR experience; which was so cool! It felt as if I was walking inside the world of the paintings. I could turn around in my chair, without leaving that world. It's almost scary; but an unforgettable experience.
The price point was high, but so is everything else in Seattle. For a unique experience like this; it was worth it. We even purchased our own Canvas replica on the way out. read more
