I just scratched something off my bucket list: visiting Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience Atlanta. I've been meaning to visit this museum for a while since I went to The Tutankhamun: His Tomb and Treasures Museum, which was in the exact location.
It's good that Van Gogh is still at the Exhibition Hub Art Center Atlanta; my last visit was in 2023.

My Review of Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience Atlanta
When you first walk into the Exhibition Hub Art Center and present your ticket, you get your picture taken. Then, we were off to the side where Van Gogh's exhibit was on.
Upon entering, you get a glimpse of Vincent Van Gogh's life.
Van Gogh is known for his bold colors and expressive brushwork, emphasizing emotional resonance. Some of his most famous paintings include "Starry Night," "Sunflowers," and "The Bedroom." His style is characterized by an emphasis on vibrant color and a dynamic, often swirling quality, reflecting his turbulent emotional state.
Despite his immense contribution to art, Van Gogh struggled with mental health issues throughout his life and faced significant personal challenges, including poverty and isolation.
He sold very few paintings during his lifetime and gained recognition only posthumously. He died on July 29th, 1890, from a gunshot wound believed to be self-inflicted.
It's truly heartbreaking to realize that Van Gogh struggled with depression and used art as his escape.
It's unfortunate that he only gained recognition after his passing. I wish he could see just how influential his art is today.
For most of the exhibit, you see wall-to-floor digital projection displays of Van Gogh's work and his inspirations, such as Japanese art.
The digital displays and sound effects truly engage you in Van Gogh's world. It's an unbelievable experience, and I highly recommend you visit.
At the end of the exhibition, there's a virtual reality option that allows visitors to see Van Gogh's artwork up close for an additional fee. I had experienced this during our previous visit, so we decided to skip it this time. However, I would recommend trying it out, as it's definitely worth experiencing.
Adult ticket prices start at $35, and kid prices start at $20. Best of all, parking is free, and there is plenty of parking!
