A 360-degree immersive experience

Thanks to immersive 360-degree projections, the artist's masterpieces come to life in the space and invite the public to experience art from a new and engaging perspective. The journey lets visitors move through some of the most recognisable images of Van Gogh's world: the intense light of the Sunflowers, the suspended atmospheres of The Starry Night, and the landscapes and colours that shaped his artistic and personal path. A dedicated soundtrack conveys the emotional power of his painting.

The story of Van Gogh's life

The exhibition traces the most significant moments in Van Gogh's life, from his Dutch years through to his Provencal period, using high-definition images. Rather than the original canvases, it offers a multimedia narrative that weaves together biography and painting, conveying the human and artistic arc of the painter. It is a format designed to bring art closer even to audiences who do not know the artist's work well, in an engaging setting accessible to all ages.

Cosenza, a city of art set at the confluence of the Crati and Busento rivers, offers a historic old town rich in history a short distance from the exhibition venue.
