An exhilarating multimedia immersive show which celebrates the life and art of Vincent van Gogh is set to open in Birmingham next month.

Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience will be at Birmingham NEC from Thursday 1 August to Sunday 1 September as part of a strictly limited run of UK dates.

The multimedia extravaganza is currently receiving its UK premiere in Liverpool where it has already sold 30,000 tickets – and producers Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group are expecting the same fantastic response from art lovers in Birmingham.

Covering 40,000sq ft – making it the largest Van Gogh show ever staged in the city, Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience combines more than 300 paintings with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of one of history’s most influential artists.

The Post-Impressionist master’s artworks are rendered into three-dimensional, fully immersive scenes that swirl and flow with colour and movement.

Visitors are taken on a journey through the artist’s world from darkness to light, enhanced by his own dreams, thoughts and words set to a stirring symphonic score in this sensational narrative experience which appeals to a whole new generation of art enthusiasts and Van Gogh fans alike.

Beginning in the Introduction Hall, visitors connect with Vincent van Gogh through personal letters he wrote to his brother, and greatest supporter, Theo. Visitors then move into the heart of the exhibition – the Immersive Room – where Van Gogh’s paintings are freed from their frames to dominate the space and fully immerse the audience in the incredible detail of his work, awakening their imagination in a playful and dreamlike way as they are enveloped in colourful flowers, cafés and stunning landscapes, shifting and swirling across the projection-swathed walls and floor.

Along with timed entry tickets, VIP Experience tickets are available which include selected Beyond Van Gogh merchandise, flexible arrival times and fast track entry.

And there is also a chance to take part in special Saturday morning yoga sessions which are held inside the exhibition itself.
