👍👍 Stunning. A real gem. Not super easy to reach, but definitely worth the journey indeed. Calm, relaxing and made with love. Even for those not into paintings as such. Highly recommended without a shadow of a doubt. Thanks you! VR experience - which cost extra - might not be for everyone as it might...

    Stunning. A real gem. Not super easy to reach, but definitely worth the journey indeed. Calm, relaxing and made with love. Even for those not into paintings as such. Highly recommended without a shadow of a doubt. Thanks you! VR experience - which cost extra - might not be for everyone as it might cause dizziness. I suggest Fever to organise some indications somewhere on the road and a big poster at the entrance.

    Just loved the experience ! Let me first provide a few specifics regarding the exhibition and then get into how it felt. 1. I will personally not recommend VIP tickets, the “skip the queue” didn’t make sense because practically we didn’t find any queue - visited on Sunday evening - Then the poster also didn’t make sense because it was 2 of us (2 posters ?) and you can always buy the posters there itself if you want. Prices of posters are also €5, if you buy there. - Thirdly, because the whole VR experience at the end didn’t make sense at all. We were already exhausted by the time we finished our tour and knew pretty much everything. Infact the Immersive Experience offered as part of the standard tickets is mesmerising and amazing in itself. The VR experience can also be purchased separately and the price is €5 2. Assume that the whole experience would take around 1 to 1.5 hours - depending on how much detail you want to read everything and how much time you want to spend in the Immersive Experience. My time estimate is excluding VR thingy 3. I realised that you can pretty much walk into at anytime. We had tickets of 5:30, but reached at around 5 and were allowed. …………….. Now coming onto the experience, so firstly it’s very well designed. Van Gogh’s Life, his inspiration, style and work has been very well-brought out. Loved it ! The staff around is very cordial and friendly. The Immersive experience was also amazing (ignoring the kids who were running around :P). All and all it’s a must recommend, specially if it’s gonna be your first one. I know friends who have experienced immersive art experiences, elsewhere in the world, and they were a bit critique about this. But it was my first, so we loved it ! Hope my review would be helpful for you in making the right choice :)

    Such a wonderful experience. Loved every bit of it and the practical aspect of it made me feel like an artist😂.. Really nice idea and good fun.

    We really enjoyed it, from the mapping to the interactive hall. The music, the videos, the story of Vincent you could read on the walls. We love the 3d Vincent 's room. To sit on the chairs and admire the videos, really well done. You can appreciate the attention to the details. Any fan of V Gogh 's art will enjoy it, and even if you're not a fan, it's interesting to know his story. At the end you can pay for a 3d experience and it's fun too.

    Great experience. Learnt some interesting things about van Gogh. The interactive bit with the chairs and blankets at the end is just lovely. Also loved the option to do some colouring after that (great for the kids). We decided to pay the fiver each to do the VR bit at the end, well worth it. Overall I really enjoyed it but wrap up well because the venue is freezing! The only negative about it.

    Brilliant, for all ages. You can take your time walking around and give yourself 20 minutes at the end to sit on a chair and be immersed in his work. We were there for 2 hours. Highly recommend the Virtual Reality on the way out for an extra fiver. Tip: swivel on your chair during this, you can look behind you! If visiting the Dublin exhibition, take a few moments to visit the Stardust Memorial 50 metres away in memory of those lives lost in a tragic fire.

    Lovely exhibition dedicated to such a passionate and creative man. It’s a great place to learn more of him and his work. Everything is put together in such a beautiful way that makes you feel dreamy, I’ve always loved Vincent’s art. Imagine how he would feel if he saw how loved he and his art is. I’m thankful that I got to see it before going back to my country. The staff were super nice and even let me go in before my scheduled hour. Merchandise was a bit overpriced but you can get a commemorative coin for 3€ which is super cool.

    Van Gogh experience absolutely amazingly far beyond my expectations. Would highly recommend it. So interesting to hear about his life and family and the number of paintings and letters he produced. Great for budding young artists to see and so interesting for everyone. The layout of his work in this building is absolutely outstanding.

    The Van Gogh exhibition is amazing. Gives you great perspective on the painter, his life, and artwork. The four stars are because of the location and the temperature in the halls - around 10 degrees. So when you spend around 60+ minutes you can get quite cold.

    Amazing experience! It was quiet when I attended with only about 10 people there.. it was nice to sit in the immersive experience for about 45 minutes and just relax. Note: I attended alone and it was still fun! Highly recommend.

    What a truthful experience . Never has VAN Gogh been shown as a human man in such grand detail . All throughout I learned of a new corner if his life , his most cherished days . The true Van Gogh and his contemporaries, who were fully aware of his genius , lived in the now acclaim we all do fir this wonderful artist , a re-claiming of the truth in every aspect of life , you are who you know of yourself from the people around you . Van Gogh life ended due to a disease , a mental disorder which took his life , NOT , the establishment of the day . Brilliant ! In my life I know I've given a doorway to something special with these experiences, the prints just jump of the wall , like his work . The whole walk through was an accompanying to the work of VAN Gogh , not a re- production , it was something I'll never forget , Fiona .

    Most interesting. Not blown away, Wow! but very informative. Different. If you wanna know about Vincent Van Gogh, this is the place. Getting there isn't interesting, and the outside is absolutely awful, but once inside, it's a very well planned out warehouse (bring your coat). Super tech lighting.

    Wonderful experience. Learnt more about Van Gogh and my 11 year old 'Art crazy' daughter enjoyed every second too. VR was super if not just a little blurry on the words. Overall not to be missed!

  • 3/5 Matthew O. 9 months ago on Google
    You’re paying quite a lot to look at replicas of Van Gogh’s work. The large audio-visual room saves it (just) but if you’re into audio-visual shows it’s quite crude…but effective all the same.

  • 4/5 Clara B. 11 months ago on Google
    I loved my visit there and the experience is very good. Lots of different paints, and good information about Van Gogh life. The entrance is not cheap, but in my opinion values the money, if you want to spend a good and relaxing afternoon!

  • 5/5 Andrew N. 1 year ago on Google
    What an excellent way to spend a couple of hours. Whether you knew anything about the artist beforehand or not your knowledge had definitely been enriched at the end. It was at times relaxing and enthralling. We did the VIP experience and agreed it was worth spending a few euro extra on it as the virtual reality trip through his paintings was amazing. Definitely recommended.

  • 5/5 Eileen S. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing exhibition! So much information about Van Gogh that I'd never known before, very professionally presented by a team who clearly love, respect & have studied the man & his work. The imersive room with cool deck chairs & the vr experience were both amazing. I'd definitely recommend this for a very relaxing evening (or day) out. Wrap up warm though, it's a very chilly venue!!

  • 4/5 Love Y. 9 months ago on Google
    The entrance is hard to find but trust the gmap ! 2hours was definitely not enough for us .. so I'd say please keep some time aside for this when you come .. most of the artworks by van gogh are on display (not the originals obviously) , with some interesting displays like the vase series.. The VR experience is another 5euros and may not be everyone's cup of tea but it was quite interesting..lasts about 10minutes i think The painting/drawing area is another great highlight..some very artistic people have left their artworks on display too ! My only complaint is the souvenir shop which charged very high prices when the items aren't even affiliated to any museum or gallery .. fridge magnets and badges being 5 and 7 euros is more than what you'd find in even national galleries ..

    A great place to spend a couple of hours. Regardless whether you are an art lover or not. Pity they close down but I was happy to hear that Klimt exhibition is next.

  • 5/5 Pozde P. 8 months ago on Google
    This exhibition was absolutely stunning! The way it was made, the mixture of classical and digital just transfers you into the world of Van Gogh. The cherry on the top of the cake was the last huge room with deck chairs where one could sit and relax and watch the images of Van Gogh's works streaming on the walls.

    10am session at the Van Gogh exhibition, super cool experience. The immersive section was just amazing. Colouring section at the end super fun. VR extension available

    I enjoyed this experience ❤️ i went with my friends and it was worth visiting, I strongly recommend it because it wasn't boring, there are activities to do and we could know the history of such a painter in an educatif atmosphere☺️
