Produced by Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group, Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience covers an epic 40,000sq ft and is packed with colour and detail to excite visitors of all ages, bringing together more than 300 of the Dutch legend’s paintings with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of one of history’s most influential artists.

Visitors in Glasgow have described the experience as ‘hauntingly emotional’, ‘hugely atmospheric’, ‘a dream of colours’ and ‘mesmerising’.

Wander through iconic works as they come alive around you, including The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Terrace of a Café at Night, and be enveloped by a selection of his revealing self-portraits which might just blink back at you.

Art lovers are taken on a journey through the artist’s world from darkness to light, enhanced by his own dreams, thoughts and words set to a stirring symphonic score in a sensational narrative experience.

Beginning in the Introduction Hall, visitors connect with Vincent van Gogh through personal letters he wrote to his brother, and greatest supporter, Theo.

They then move into the heart of the exhibition – the Immersive Room – where Van Gogh’s paintings are freed from their frames to dominate the space and fully immerse the audience in the incredible detail of his work, awakening their imagination in a playful and dreamlike way as they are enveloped in colourful flowers, cafés and stunning landscapes, shifting and swirling across the projection-swathed walls and floor.

Special family tickets are available from £16 a head, with a family ticket for two costing £32 off-peak and £36 during peak dates from Friday to Sunday, and for four costing £64 and £72 respectively, saving family groups up to £20 per visit.

And there is a further special offer for all visitors with £5 off general tickets for timed entry slots after 5pm.

Along with timed entry options, art lovers also have a chance to take part in special Saturday morning yoga sessions inside the exhibition on 10, 17 and 24 August.

Meanwhile VIP Experience tickets include selected Beyond Van Gogh merchandise along with flexible arrival times and fast track entry.

And a full range of immersive experience merchandise is available in the Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience store on site.

The Glasgow dates are part of a strictly limited run of shows in the UK for the immersive experience which has already been seen by more than five million people across the United States, Canada and South America.

It is also currently also being staged at Birmingham’s NEC, while 60,000 people visited the stunning experience in Liverpool.

Anna Parry, UK Business Development at Annerin Productions, said today: “Glasgow’s response to Beyond van Gogh has been nothing short of phenomenal, prompting an extension to our run and marking it as the longest in the UK summer tour of 2024.

“Having already sold over 35,000 tickets we’re very excited to be open until 26 August.

“The demand underscores Glasgow’s deep appreciation for arts and culture, and we’re thrilled to continue sharing this immersive experience with such an enthusiastic audience throughout the summer.”

Angela Smith, Business Development Manager at the SEC added: “Beyond van Gogh has been such a wonderful addition to this summer’s run of exhibitions and events with people coming from across Scotland to immerse themselves in the wonder of this legendary artist. We’ve received excellent feedback from visitors and we look forward to welcoming many more over the coming weeks. It’s definitely an un-missable event.”
