Van Gogh Exhibit: The Immersive Experience
Until 27th February January 2023, Shoreditch
Chances are, you've heard of London's Van Gogh Exhibit: The Immersive Experience tucked away in Shoreditch. Perhaps one of the most famous (and tragic) artists, the Dutchman can be appreciated through two-storey projections of his greatest pieces. But this isn't just a visual and VR masterpiece, as there's ethereal soundscapes to accompany your journey through the space too.
Stand right among the brushstrokes of 'The Starry Night' here.
Dalí Cybernetics: The Immersive Experience
From 23rd December 2022 until 25th February 2023, The Boiler House
A new choice for an immersive art experience in London, Dalí Cybernetics opens just before Christmas 2022, bringing the Catalonian artist's mastery of Surrealism to the capital. Combining cutting-edge 360 degree projection, interactive elements and virtual reality headsets for the famous melting clocks in 'The Persistence of Memory', the exhibition plunges you deeper into his world.
London's immersive art scene is about to be joined by this beauty.
Dopamine Land: Immersive Multisensory Experience
Until 26th February 2023, South Kensington
Doing exactly what it says on the tin, Dopamine Land London aims to leave you with that inexplicably warm, fuzzy feeling that only comes from joy. Sip bubble tea under a bubbling installation, be mesmerised by meditative fire lanterns, and even venture inside a popcorn room to evoke childhood nostalgia or get a taste. Plus, if you're a fan of pillow fights, there's a place for that too.
Pure bliss? You'll find it at Dopamine Land.
