The immersive experience is a must-do in DC! The three parts to the exhibition just keeps getting better as you go along. It gives you the feeling of living through Van Gogh’s works. Fascinating and relaxing!
I thought I knew enough about Van Gogh before, but this exhibit really delved into all aspects of his life and art. Good place to bring kids. The immersion room was spectacular.
A must-do! Read about his life, look at his paintings and feel what he felt. He painted his eyes with such sadness, a longing. Take your time.
The downside, the constant smell of marijuana on people who worked there.

Room with all-around projection and paintings turned into movies was impressive, virtual reality also very good. Rest was okay. They 'built' some of the paintings so that you can have your picture taken sitting/standing in the painting.
Wow, what an amazing experience. I would recommend this to any one. Especially those that are art fanatics. The exhibit starts with history about Van Goghs life, his works of art, where his inspiration came from, and his tortured history with mental illness and epilepsy. I learned so much about the is famous artist. Then the immersive experience was art itself. Whoever created this digital show of Van Goghs major works of art did a fabulous job. The time and effort that went in to making his art and words come to life. The tickets are about $50 for adults and $37 for military. I didn’t really appreciate the $5 per ticket processing fee from “Fever” the company that sells the tickets nor the VR costing an additional $5 rather than being included. Otherwise I thought it was worth the price. Parking is free for 2 hours as they validate. Highly recommend trying this out, it is a unique experience.
Fantastic way to engage kids in the world of art. Magical experience and informative. Learnt loads about his life. Parking on site is a bonus. We hadn’t pre-paid for the VR headsets but we were able to buy for an extra $5 at the end, which we did. We spent about 90 minutes in total - at least half an hour sitting in a deck chair in the interactive room. Expensive when compared to other museums but was definitely a great experience. Was it worth it? Hard to put a price on it. I’d say a bit overpriced, but I would definitely recommend.
I’m a big fan of Van Gogh to start with and I thought I knew a good deal about his art and life but I learned so much more at this exhibit. The gallery is very engaging. It has plenty of “moving parts” to hold even a child’s attention. Also, there are interactive areas where you can be part of the painting. I could go again and again. I actually didn’t think I would be especially interested in the VR experience but it turned out to be the high light of the exhibit. The only thing I didn’t love was having to pay extra for VR. The tickets are already a little pricey so an addition $5 seemed unnecessary but still if you go, do the Virtual Reality. You’ll thank me later.
Our family took the metro in and it was super easy to get to the exhibit from the metro stop. A 10 minute walk at most and not through any sketchy areas. If you drive and take someone who has trouble getting around the nice thing is the parking lot for the Van Gogh Experience is right by the door to get in, couldn’t get any closer. This would be very accessible for those who need it. Lots of wide open spaces and benches spread through the exhibit.
We really loved the experience! I’m an artist myself and had set my standards low just in case but was pleasantly surprised. The information presented was very detailed and the digital projections spread throughout the exhibit kept it so none of them were every crowded with people. The final room with a 360 degree view was amazing with many seating options.
