There is an immersive experience happening at my city, showing the works of Vincent Van Gogh in grand scale. Information about his life, copies of his work and a huge room with visuals of them streamed around.I could not get enough of it. Here are some photos I took with my phone, and I was very glad for the little girl in the foreground.








They had a life-size installation to reproduce his bedroom in Arles. The woman who stepped in to look out the window is my friend and neighbor, Dani.
Another friend commented: Sad he could never know how hugely famous and loved he ended up being.
Another, highly spiritual friend, looked at her and said:
He knows it now!

It is a simply wonderful, immersive, unforgettable experience.
