VIP MERCHANDISE AND FLEX ADMISSION: Flexibility to enter any timeslot the date of your ticket, priority entry (skip the line) and a merchandise package valued at over $40.
Beyond Van Gogh: A Life in Letters is a fully immersive 360° VR journey that invites you into the world of one of history’s most iconic artists. Inspired by Vincent’s deeply personal letters to his brother Theo, this emotional experience reveals not just the struggle but also the beauty, joy, and passion that shaped his art.

Based on Vincent's own words as he reflects on nature, creativity, and the challenges of being an artist, walk alongside him through the French countryside as the scenery transforms before your eyes — from real to sketched, painted, and imagined.

Discover the triumphs and heartbreaks that fueled his genius — and see the world through Van Gogh’s eyes like never before.

Please note, parental consent is required for all children aged 5-12 and children under 5 are not permitted to experience VR.
