ALBUQUERQUE — Imagine being completely immersed in more than 300 of the greatest works of post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh.

Now imagine experiencing all of this art liberated from its two-dimensional limitations into a three-dimensional experience that exhilarates every sense and brings to life one of the most influential artists the world has known.

It’s all part of Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, which has sold more than 2.5 million tickets globally making it one of the most popular traveling exhibitions.

The sensory extravaganza is produced by Paquin Entertainment Group and presented by Primo Entertainment.

The exhibition opens March 2 and runs through May 1 at the Immersive Pavilion in the Sawmill District.

Prices start at $39.99 for adults and $23.99 for children, plus ticketing fees. Tickets go on sale to the public Thursday, Jan. 27 at www.vangoghalbuquerque.com.

While journeying through Beyond Van Gogh, guests witness more than 300 iconic masterpieces, including such instantly recognizable classics as “The Starry Night”, “Sunflowers” and ‘Café Terrace at Night”, as well as many revealing self-portraits.

Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience was created by French-Canadian Creative Director Mathieu St-Arnaud and his team at Montreal’s world-renowned Normal Studio.

“An imaginative and fully-immersive adventure, Beyond Van Gogh takes on the challenge of breathing new life into Van Gogh’s vast body of work. Through the use of cutting-edge 3D projection technology and music to illuminate all of his genius, guests can experience the artist with all their senses,” St-Arnaud said.

Guests are transported into Van Gogh’s world through an all new, exclusively designed space comprised of three areas that segue fluidly into each other. The Introduction Hall leads into the unique Waterfall Room which flows into the Immersive Experience Room.

Freed from their frames, Van Gogh’s spectacular paintings appear on projection-swathed walls inviting guests to fully immerse themselves into the incredible detail of his work and be enveloped in his ever-shifting, swirling and colorful flowers, cafes and stunning landscapes. And, hearing the artist’s own dreams, thoughts and words set to a symphonic score drives an unmatched narrative experience.

“This distinctive and unique multimedia artistic adventure is deeply resonating with audiences. Encompassing a refreshing new twist unlike art lovers have seen before, Beyond Van Gogh gives a new appreciation of this tortured artist’s stunning work. Unsurprisingly millions of people all over the world credit Van Gogh with enhancing their relationship with art. Beyond Van Gogh will only strengthen that connection,” said Justin Paquin, producer, Paquin Entertainment Group.

“We are thrilled to bring Beyond Van Gogh to Albuquerque because of the state’s large and distinctive art community as well as New Mexicans who would like to enjoy the artist’s work in a very unique and immersive experience,” said David Rosenfeld from Primo Entertainment.

Cinematic Van Gogh exhibitions have crossed the ocean from European cities to North America in recent years and met with great critical acclaim, with sold-out audiences in every market. Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience continues to amaze audiences as art lovers near and far will have the opportunity to live this truly unique and unforgettable experience.
