What is the "Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience"?

The expo is a one-of-a-kind art exhibit that features the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh in a digital 360-degree experience. There are two-story projections of the artist's most famous paintings with a twenty thousand square foot light and sound immersion. The experience also uses virtual reality. This is done through the part of the exhibit called "A Day in the Life of the Artist in Arles, France". You will feel like you are actually inside some of Vincent Van Gogh's works.
