The Beyond Van Gogh exhibit explores a new way for art lovers to appreciate classics like “Sunflowers” and “The Starry Night,” and it’s coming to Calgary this summer.
Vincent Van Gogh is an icon – both for his famous paintings and for the infamous cutting off of his own ear – and the artist lives on through his work and in our memories.

“At Beyond Van Gogh, guests will experience [his works] in new and exciting ways,” Beyond Van Gogh said in a Facebook post. “Larger than life images dance across various surfaces, revealing new details about the artworks we thought we knew.”
Projections swirl across the walls and, in some places, even the floors of the Starry Night Pavilion, giving visitors a truly 360° view. To round out this experience of the senses, the exhibit is accompanied by Van Gogh’s own words set to a symphonic score.
