Experience the works of Vincent Van Gogh like never before with the Van Gogh Alive in Malaysia. This multi-sensory immersive exhibition brings the artist’s work to life, allowing visitors to explore his masterpieces through sight, sound, and motion.
After first witnessing this exhibit on season one of Emily in Paris (if you know, you know) and then seeing friends of mine go to the London, Paris and Dubai venues, It honestly never crossed my mind that I would even have a glimpse of seeing the Van Gogh exhibit let alone making it’s way to Malaysia shores, many of the major international exhibitions seem to pass on Malaysia and take residence in Singapore or Jakarta, so to one day be scrolling my IG feed and have this lil ad pop up, was a quick-fire click and booked!
“The world’s most visited immersive multi-sensory experience continues its tour in Malaysia!”
For anyone who has never heard of Vincent van Gogh or has heard the name and can only recall the story of him cutting part of his ear off, then in brief: Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter from the 19th century who suffered terribly from mental illness and surprisingly only sold one painting in his life, In a decade, he had created about 2,100 artwork’s of landscapes, still life, portraits and self-portraits; it was only in death that his work began to be celebrated and is among the world’s most expensive paintings to ever be sold.
The part I enjoyed the most out of the whole exhibit was, of course, the 40-minute multi-sensory digital art show where we could all take a seat on the floor and be transported into Van Gogh’s world through sound, walls projecting writings taken from letters he had written to his brother and his artwork in motion, including the notable Starry Night; what an experience.
“I can’t change the fact that my painting’s don’t sell. But the time will come when people will recognise that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.”
If you have never seen the exhibit before and have the time and means, I’d highly recommend you go:
