What Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience does

Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience is a touring immersive art exhibition that debuted in 2017 and has visited more than 50 cities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, accumulating over 5 million visitors. The core product uses 360° digital projection with video mapping across 1,000+ square meters of screens (with two-story-high projections of Van Gogh's works) combined with a VR experience that lets visitors walk alongside the artist through scenes inspired by eight iconic pieces, including Vincent's Bedroom at Arles and Starry Night Over The Rhone. The exhibition also features interactive elements where visitors can project their own paintings onto the walls. The 4K projection environment, VR headsets, and synchronized light/sound design constitute the principal technology stack.

The business generates revenue primarily through tiered ticket sales — standard admission with age-based pricing (adult, child 4-12, family pass, senior/student/NHS discounts), and VIP admission bundling priority VR access plus a Starry Night poster. Ancillary revenue streams include on-site merchandise (posters, postcards, notebooks, tote bags, books, soundtracks), VR add-ons for standard ticket holders, dedicated group bookings for schools and large groups (with free teacher ratios and special pricing for 25+ groups), and private/corporate event bookings including team-building sessions. Special experiences such as "Dinner at Van Gogh" dinners and yoga sessions inside the venue extend monetization. Pricing varies by city, with European standard adult tickets starting from €10.90 and Lyon admission from €13.90.

The exhibition is produced by Exhibition Hub (a Belgian entity with 70+ exhibitions produced and 6M+ cumulative visitors across its portfolio) and ticketed primarily through the Fever platform, which reaches 40M+ users monthly. Distribution combines the Fever app/website, on-site box office, and dedicated group booking portals. Customer segments span individual consumers (the primary audience across families, couples, art enthusiasts, and tourists), educational institutions (schools, camps, social centers), and corporate B2B (events, team-building, private functions). The company has received USA Today's 2021 Best Immersive Experience award, CNN's ranking among the 12 best immersive experiences globally, and gold medals at the Eventex 2023 Awards for Best Exhibition Experience and Best Immersive Experience.
