Weekly Wrap UP 12/17/21-- Van Gogh interactive exhibition

While my Mother was visiting over the Thanksgiving holiday we went to the Van Gogh interactive exhibit in town.  It was expensive (I thought it was overpriced to be honest).  As a family we have been fortunate to visit the Van Gogh museum while we lived in Europe.  He was one of the painters my kids loved when they were little.  

Luckily it was a pretty nice night to attend as it was held in a very large tent 
First room was filled with various quotes Van Gogh  had said about his paintings to his brother in his many letters

 

Second room was an exhibit called the waterfall of lights.  It was pretty to see all the various colors floating down the walls and floors of the room 
The last room held a 35 minutes interactive show  of Van Gogh paintings.  This was the best part of the show.  If was almost like watching the paintings be done on huge screens it filled up the walls and floors.  (Not somewhere to go if you can't handle flashing colors or lights)




Best part when the paintings changed and the screens would changed ever so slowly or the painting would move (like seeing the birds fly across the sky)

They ended with a starry night and watching the room change as the screen slowly added each piece of the picture.  

Of course after the show you were taken through the very expensive gift shop but there were a few more photo opportunities:)


Everyone thought it was good but way over priced.  However it was nice evening out and not to crowded.
