Beyond Van Gogh is a walk-through experience that tells the story of the complex artist while also allowing viewers to experience his artwork in a new, creative way. Those who go can sit and watch as the walls around them change, showing Van Gogh’s different art styles and the different themes he experimented with.
“It was different to see a live exhibit that shows multiple scenes when you can sit in one place,” Ziggy Shoemaker says. “This way of showing his paintings really kept me interested and involved throughout the time we were there.” The vibrant lights and moving pictures is one of the many reasons for this exhibit’s gain in popularity the last few weeks.

Those who go to the exhibit can also learn more about Vincent Van Gogh’s fascinating life. Before his death, his life was very eventful and tragic. Never fully getting the recognition he deserved while alive, he also often dealt with mental health problems and didn’t fully pursue his dream career until an older age.
For those possibly interested in experiencing this wonderful exhibit, it will be continuing at the Oregon Convention Center until February 12! You can reserve a time at https://vangoghportland.com/ !
