It's a sensory-packed experience that actually allows you to become part of a masterpiece and experience Van Gogh's art in a completely different way. It has traveled to 35 European capitals including Athens. Visitors should expect something entirely new compared to a normal museum experience where they come across with a quiet setting with art displayed against plain backdrops and a label telling you the name of the artist, the work and the date. Visitors are presented with a full, sensory experience where art is enlarged to take up entire walls, ceilings and floors. Parts of the paintings and sketches move while carefully selected music combines the visual with the auditory. It adds a whole other dimension to the story of the art. Van Gogh Alive works with the SENSORY4 system, which uses 40 high definition projectors, multichannel motion graphics and cinema quality surround sound in order to present such a dynamic and immersive experience. Unlike a traditional art exhibition, quotes by the artist (in Greek and English) are displayed on the walls alongside the paintings, sketches, and early photos of 19th century Netherlands. You learn about the artist's troubled life through some of the quotes and stories that are displayed amongst the artwork but also through a little side area that gives more information about some of his most famous works. You'll find most visitors sitting on couches, or laying down, on the floors, looking upwards and around them. Children can be seen looking at and touching the displays on the screens on the floor or the walls. The space is definitely kid-friendly. There is even a separate room where children can participate in painting lessons. It's a great way to get children to enjoy classic art with their families. Van Gogh Alive is an experience that is simultaneously enchanting, entertaining and educational. Adults and children alike will forge their own paths and find their own meaning as they wander through the galleries, exploring hidden corners, viewing artworks from new angles and discovering different perspectives.
