While we were in Perth we went to see the Van Gogh Alive exhibition. It is the most visited multi-sensory experience in the world. The visitor gets to accompany Van Gogh on a journey through the Netherlands, Arles, Saint Remy and Aubers-sun-Oise, where he created many of his timeless masterpieces.
The exhibition allows you to be surrounded by his paintings and to step inside them. A classical music score adds to the experience.
The marquee is in the Elizabeth Quay area of Perth.
After the obligatory walk through the retail section (which is very good) and a cafe you enter the space and immediately become surrounded by ever changing images through Van Gogh’s life and work.
On the way out you walk through a field of sunflowers and sit for a while.
Van Gogh Alive is in Perth until August 7th. It will then move to other locations in Australia.
I believe it is a wonderful exhibition Deb. Unfortunately we will miss it so thanks for the blog.

Saw this in Canberra earlier in the year. It was a stunning experience. It gave me a better understanding of his life and how his mental health issues affected him.

Deb it has already been exhibited in Brisbane and we thoroughly loved it. Thought it was beautifully done. Not too sure but I think Brisbane was the first exhibition.

It looks like a wonderful exhibition! I never did end up going because it came to Sydney in 2020 and I didn’t feel like visiting during COVID but it looks like I really missed out.
