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.
