Source-derived summary

A number of real-life and virtual reality exhibits of Vincent van Gogh's paintings have been staged around the world since the 2000s. The for-profit events range across venues, organizers, and locations, though the majority have been held in North America in 2021 and 2022. The events are typically set up in large gallery spaces. Images or videos of the artist's works are projected onto walls, ceilings, and floors, sometimes accompanied by animations, narrations, music, or fragrances.

The events have received varying degrees of criticism, including over ticket providers, confusion over similar event names, and over artistic licenses taken with van Gogh's paintings.

Events

The immersive events have been held in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Events held in the United States include "Imagine Van Gogh: The Immersive Exhibition", the "Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit", "Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience", "Van Gogh Alive", and "Beyond Van Gogh". These events drew complaints over their similar naming, which lead customers to accidentally purchase tickets to the wrong event. The for-profit shows range in price from $25 to US$75 per adult.

Numerous van Gogh events are being held in mid- to large-size U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, St.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation.
