Put this on your must-see list this summer!

Immersive Van Gogh experiences have seen rave reviews and sell-out shows in cities across the world, from Tokyo to London.

Today Theatre of Light are excited to announce that Dublin is finally getting its first immersive celebration of Vincent Van Gogh.

Taking over the Shelbourne Hall at the RDS from May 16th, Van Gogh Dublin is a 20,000 square foot, light and sound spectacular featuring two-story projections of the artist’s most compelling works.

The Van Gogh Dublin will be an immersive, all digital, hands-free experience that is perfect for our socially distant world. Its rich content is suitable for every audience, including families, school groups, couples, and seniors.

An iconic venue of scale with strong artistic and cultural links, the RDS is one of a select few Dublin venues with sufficient infrastructure to build an immersive exhibition of this scale and impact.

Speaking to us today about what makes this immersive experience by one of the world’s most iconic artists so incredible, Project Director Jillian Wilson said;

“You get to walk through the fascinating and tragic life of Van Gogh, through his carefully curated artworks, chosen to fully absorb you in a multisensory experience, with mind-blowing audio-visual effects.”

At this unique event visitors will get to experience audio-visual storytelling at its best and will be submerged in Van Gogh’s history and art work in an advanced digital format.

Pre-sale tickets for the Van Gogh experience are available from today at vangoghdublin.com and are priced from €23.

General admission tickets to the event will go on sale Tuesday 22nd of February.

All Covid-19 rules and guidelines will be strictly followed.
