Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience announces Bristol location

Entertainment producer Exhibition Hub together with Fever, the leading entertainment discovery platform, have today announced Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience will debut in a Bristol space for creativity and culture named Propyard in April 2022. 

Located on Feeder Road, the 2,700 square metre venue will host the 360 degree digital art experience in St Philips Marsh, East Bristol, a developing neighbourhood known for its industrial heritage and modern creative hive. Propyard is a space for creativity, culture and shared experience, transforming a former MOD torpedo testing factory into a fully-accessible centre for art, music, food and collaboration. Bristol Temple Meads train station is just seven minute’s walk away, and the site is accessible to all visitors.

At the exhibition, visitors are invited to step into more than 300 of Van Gogh’s sketches, drawings, and paintings by using floor-to-ceiling digital projections, made possible by state-of-the-art video mapping technology.

As well as the two-storey tall central projection area, the exhibition also includes a one-of-a-kind VR experience in a separate gallery. This multi-sensory experience guides the viewer through a ten-minute journey on “a day in the life of the artist”, providing a chance to discover the inspiration behind some of his most beloved works including Vincent’s Bedroom at Arles, and Starry Night Over The Rhone River.

A drawing studio and additional galleries that explore the life, works and techniques of Van Gogh, create a truly immersive experience that provides its audience with a new, intimate understanding of the post-impressionist genius and his work.

Immersive and educational, Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience provides a COVID-safe digital experience and great day out for adults and children alike. Tickets are on sale now via Fever’s marketplace, and start from £16 for adults and £9.50 for children.

All ticket holders will also receive access to the interactive landing page here, enhancing the edutainment experience, allowing guests to explore the story behind the exhibit and enjoy online activities. These include 360º panoramas, created from Van Gogh artworks that allow you to explore the surroundings and environment of Van Gogh himself; visual trivia that can be answered from the information and fun facts that appear on the website; and a "download" section with templates of Van Gogh’s main artworks to colour.
