    The crassness of the idea will probably send Van Gogh rolling in his grave. Any artist's nightmare to have their work commercialized this way. He had no benefit from this as he died a poor starving artist. Every pin, every tea cup and umbrella with his artwork. Ugh. About the experience: hot, no ac and non-visible customer service. The cgi film paired with some symphonic random classic music was probably a bit tad poor taste. It is like the rich benefactors of Van Gogh told bunch of first year art students/TikTokers to go crazy with this project. The notion of artistic integrity is in the toilet. (This is totally not how I expected myself to react. Perhaps the show was done without tact or restraint from greed and blatant copying.)

    LOVED this. May have came at the perfect time as it wasn't crowded. Located in SODO. The immersive room experience was the perfect combination of orchestral sounds and visuals in a large room surrounded by four walls, with floor projections as well. Some may say that it is a bit expensive for what you get.

    Outside of the cost, the beauty, imagery, imagination and creativity that went into establishing this exhibit are second to none. We were - from age 1 year upwards - stunned at each turn. It was interactive, fun, engaging and awe-inspiring. The virtual reality portion is also worth a visit, as it offered an image of what it may have been like walking through Arles with the artist.

    Colleagues at work gave me the ticket for this event. I'm glad I came. It was very refreshing. When you walk in you see these frames that tell stories of Vincent Van Gogh's life. It set's you up for the main hall which features the artists work. It's a cool experience with the walls changing all around you. It's a different way of viewing art I guess in the modern age. I suggest to read up on Van Gogh a little bit before coming so you will appreciate what you see and have a little more context. It's still good even if you don't cuz of the lights and sounds. I also liked the soundtrack which is why I pulled it up on Spotify. It's very soothing and comforting. The ticket is worth it if your are paying for it. There's parking on the streets. At the end before you exit there is a souvenir shop that you might want to check out.

    I attended the exhibit tonight with my friend. I would recommend this for any art lover. There are prints of Van Gogh's pieces presented as paintings. A giant head of the artist with lights ever changing the scene. There is a replica of his room at the mental hospital. The large room with seating on benches, beach chairs and a square section in the middle along with cozy rugs on the floor seems to hold 100 people and there's still social space between them. Music plays, Vivaldi, as scenes of Van Gogh's work springs to life. Occasionally, a male narrator, acting as the artist, quotes him. The paintings and scenes are splashed on the 4 walls and floor. People whisper. Children are quiet. After this, you step into an area to color one of the masters or create your own. Then, sign it, take it to the scanner and your art goes into the screen. Many cover the walls. Next us a souvenir shop. Prices are high - $90 for a print, $16 for a 3D postcard. Last, there are a few pieces that have been enlarged to jumbo size. Vaccine cards are checked and masks are required. Photos are welcome, but no flash photography. $10 parking for 2 hours across the street. We spent 90 minutes here.

    This was a unique and interesting date night adventure. We are NOT well versed in art, but familiar with Van Gogh's most popular pieces. It was fascinating to learn about Van Gogh's life, and the controversial ear incident! There were a few pieces that played with the lighting and multidimensional aspects of Van Gogh's art. You had to sit and simply enjoy art being displayed in non traditional ways. For someone who is constantly moving and multitasking; this was a truly immersive exhibit that forced me to be still. We arrived around 6pm which was the latest time slot available. There were a handful of people in the exhibit, which made it feel as if we had the entire space to ourselves. The huge room with 360 projectors of art was awesome and THE BEST part of the exhibit. Fishes swam under your feet and above your head, and you sit to enjoy it all. We had VIP passes which included 2 posters, and the $5 VR experience; which was so cool! It felt as if I was walking inside the world of the paintings. I could turn around in my chair, without leaving that world. It's almost scary; but an unforgettable experience. The price point was high, but so is everything else in Seattle. For a unique experience like this; it was worth it. We even purchased our own Canvas replica on the way out.

    I love that the images were projected on the floor!

    Words cannot express how wonderful, incredible and amazing this exhibit is. It was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. It was slow getting there (traffic) and at first I had some issues with trying to figure out how to pay for parking, but some very nice people in the parking t helped me manuver the ap. Despite that, the entire experience was SO, SO worth it! The place wasn't crowded at all, and in, I walked right inside. I'm not kidding when I say that it was like walking into a dream. The employees at the entrance were having trouble with their internet and it took a little while to access my ticket on my phone, but they upgraded me to the VIP experience for free. Totally not necessary, but I was very grateful. With the VIP experience, I got to go in the room with the 3D headsets and watch a video. It makes you feel like you're walking through Van Gogh's paintings! I also got a "Starry Starry Night" lanyard and a poster of the "Café Terrace At Night " You really feel like you're surrounded by Van Gogh's paintings and there are plenty of displays (some digital) that talk about his life. The biggest/best part of the exhibit is the huge room that has the 360 degree interchangeable video that projects on all four walls and the floor, accompanied by Van Gogh's 'voice' and absolutely gorgeous music. I was able to walk through the exhibit twice and although time limits prevented it, (The parking was only for two hours) I loved the art room where you can color Van Gogh's masterpieces and then scan them where they show up on a screen. I didn't have time to color one, but it was fun to walk around in the room anyway. The gift shop is at the end, but unlike most places, I didn't feel pressured or intimidated to buy anything. I did 'splurge' on a "Starry Starry Night" teddy bear (hey, I couldn't resist) but it was only $22 and I don't think that tax was charged. The employee on duty was extremely nice and friendly. I could go on and on but I think my point is made. This exhibit is wonderful and I'm so glad that I went! All of the five star reviews are absolutely spot on. The 'worst' part was traveling to the exhibit in Downtown Seattle, but it was so worth it. Before I went to this, I checked out a bunch of books about Van Gogh and of course, while it's not necessary to do so, it enhanced my visit because I knew a little bit about him going in. I found a very thick book in the gift shop (and thankfully my library had it) that is probably very detailed, so I'm anxious to read it. I see that other Yelp members didn't have the same experience that I had and reacted it one star. I loved it. It was much better than my expectations and I'm so glad that I wasn't disappointed. Had the staff not been so nice and super helpful it might have changed my rating. I'm not going to lie. It is a little pricey and the reason I went on a weekday is because I wasn't able to apply the $5 discount on my Fever ap (why is everything in 2023 only accessible through aps?). I discovered that by going on the day I went, it ended up being the same price as it would have been on a Sunday with the discount. Yes, I suppose a regular art museum would be more rewarding and perhaps less expensive but believe me you are not going to get the same kind of experience. To me, this was the perfect combination. I didn't find the temperature uncomfortable at all, but I went in the morning (around 10:30) on a weekday, and even at 1230 when I left, it wasn't that hot outside. I wish it hadn't been in downtown Seattle, but like I said the worst parts were driving in slow traffic and trying to figure out how to pay for the dang parking (again, aps seem to rule the world these days. Kind of aggravating for us 'old-schoolers'), but once I arrived (it's right off of Edgar Martinez drive, down the street from T-Mobile park), there was plenty of parking in the parking lot in front of the building and I think that I only saw about 50 people total while I was there. The most crowded was the big room with the video, but it was easy to take pictures and just sit and watch. My only wish is the images had been projected on the ceiling, but I'm not complaining at all. It's just that having them on the ceiling, walls and floor would have really completed the experience. Given the camera placement, I don't think that was possible, but a girl can dream. I highly recommend doing this at least once. I was actually hoping to go next month for my birthday but the people at Fever told me that it's closing on the 30th. I don't know if that's true, but if/when it comes back, I would love to go again. I'd even pay for the VIP experience. I can get a different poster this time! BTW, the posters were $14, so that's a great deal to get one free and it comes in a bag with "Starry Starry Night" on it. I wasn't charged for the bag either.

    Immersive Experience
    Jacques I.

    I love van Gogh, so was excited to see that the immersive experience was taking place in Seattle. As soon as tickets became available, I purchased for months in advance - and the tickets were not cheap. They were nearly $60 per person for a Saturday visit. After months of anticipation, I sadly thought this exhibition was A-OK. My friend and I came here during our designated time and the place was busy. After checking in, the first part of the exhibition invites you to learn more about van Gogh and see replications of his more famous pieces. There were some immersive pieces there, but nothing spectacular. I think it's cool that if you don't know much about the artist, it goes into detail about this. However, the artwork itself is far from the real thing. I'd rather just see actual artwork from van Gogh! Then in the giant room where everyone is invited to sit and watch the different lights and images appear, I thought this was the most disappointing. The show was short and how they chose the pieces is a mystery. The room was also crowded. Not worth the money. Afterwards, you're invited in the next room to color your own picture of a van Gogh image, like coloring book pages, and then in the last room before the gift area is where you can pay an additional fee for a virtual reality option. As if paying for tickets to this wasn't already enough. Gifts were also very expensive, with prices marked up, just because it's a replication of a van Gogh painting and has his name on it. Ridiculous. One word to sum up this exhibition: overpriced.

    Ramone W.

    It's simple, Don't go! Take your money and go support an actual museum and appreciate REAL art, this is the biggest cash grab of all time and it will leave you regretting your life decision of getting up one day and deciding to drive to this place thinking it would be a culturally enriching experience. I had gone to the stranger things event next door and decided to stop in to this artistic atrocity. On a Sunday it cost $87 for two people to enter not including the $30 dollar parking outside, Once we walked into the exhibit i was literally applauded by the uninspired PowerPoint slideshow like displays and the subpar atmosphere paired with low end projectors and poor lighting, This was the most impressively depressing experience of an art installation i have ever witnessed. I felt like i wanted to walk through with a cow bell ringing and chanting at the same time SHAME, SHAME ,SHAME! Whoever the owners are of this established and those who support it, should be very ashamed of themselves THIS IS NOT ART!.

    Well worth the wait!! When I first heard of this exhibit I knew I wanted to experience it in person. I purchased the time entry tickets via Fever months in advance. As a child I spent many Saturday afternoons at museums with my father, as I parent I was so thrilled my two year was intrigued by the art, installation pieces, and especially immersive experience. The audio was fairly low, but audible and each piece was accompanied with a QR code allowing you to follow in real time. There is a lot of parking available on-site, and it is $10. My pictures don't do the immersion exhibit justice at all, tickets are still available I highly recommend visiting before it leaves Seattle.

    Panoramic room with almond blossoms

    We visited on a week night in late Dec. Tickets are cheaper on weeknights at $41pp vs $60 (I think) on weekends. $41 is still a wee high but tolerable. As a big Van Gogh fan, it's worth the cost. I wouldn't pay the weekend price though. If it isn't obvious, there are no actual Van Gogh artwork here. Go to a museum for that. Section 1: Virtual Museum For those unfamiliar with Van Gogh, this is a great section to learn about the artist. Even as someone who is very familiar with his works, I learned about his lesser known and lesser seen works. Two stand-outs: - The vase with the video projection of his floral works. There are so many more varieties than the popular sunflowers, irises, and almond blossoms. - The wall with multiple sunflower artworks projected in their actual sizes. No one ever gets to see them side-by-side like these. A ding - I wish the projections were crisper in this section. Section 2: 3D Physical Models There are only three models, but it is a fun section, such as sitting in his bedroom at Arles, circa 1888. https://www.vincentvangogh.org/the-bedroom-at-arles.jsp Section 3: Projection Room This is everyone's favorite part. Sit on one of the provided chairs and watch the video that showcases Van Gogh's works in movement. This video is projected on all four walls and the floor. It's magnificent. In nearly all the presented artworks, the ships, the stars, the clouds, the petals, the trees, etc. move similar to the moving portraits in Harry Potter movies. It's mesmerizing to watch. We stayed through two and a half rounds of the video, watching and taking an insane number of photos. Section 4: Coloring table Choose from eight variations of his artwork, grab a pack of crayons, and be a 4-year-old. A table full of adults were going nuts on them. Me - I just took them and left. Section 5: VR for $5 For an extra $5 fee, see his work in VR. Pass. Gift shop - spendy By the gift shop, there are banners of his self-portraits and some huge, oversized pieces of his work. HUGE wall size. Those are cool. Street parking or there are paid lots nearby.

    My experience was a blend of Latifa's and Henry's (other reviewers). i think my issue, was that my expectations were very different that what i experienced. i was expecting to see actual Van Gogh's. What i got was to experience the world as Van Gogh experienced it. Actually pretty cool in hindsight. I learned a lot more than just seeing beautiful paintings- that i'll need to go someplace wide to do. I attended this event on a saturday midday in March 2022. I purchased the VIP tickets. The exhibit was not overly crowded and there wasn't a line (on either side) at my appointed time. As stated elsewhere, there were no actual Van Gogh's in the exhibit. But that allowed them to show variations in several van gogh themes you could not do else where. i did enjoy the educational displays & explanations. The 3 dimensional instantiations of his vase paintings was novel. The VR ($5 for non VIP) was worth the experience. It brings the user into Van Gogh's world (french landscape and towns) and frames the where he painted.

    All I can say is..... if they come to your town, GO! I wanted to see this since they arrived and put it off. Thankfully I was able to go the day before they packed up and left. I don't want to give away all the details of this experience because that's part of the thrill, but they use digital art to teach you about the artist and bring Van Gogh's paintings to life. It does not require extensive walking. A large portion of the time was seated. The background music is very relaxing. It's just a must see!!

They have a great cat/dog toy section! The store features art and goods from local artists and there's so much cute stuff. I can easily spend 15-20 minutes perusing all the goods. I found the employees to be lovely whenever I visited. They sometimes would tell me about an artist if I'm looking at their wares and I love hearing more detail about things but I never felt pressure to buy anything.  Also they sell anything under the sun here from jewelry to vases to clothes to things for kids and babies. Great variety. I found a random darling egg sticker for my friend who loves eggs and my friend found these cool mushroom magnets for her sister who loves mushrooms. See, this store is amazing!  Pacific Place is a shell of its former self. A lot of the stores have closed and it seems like most people who do come here are coming to eat at Din Tai Fung or HaiDiLao but if you're in this mall make sure to stop by the 3rd floor and check it out! Highly recommend it! There's something for everyone. Also can be a fun way to while away some time if you're waiting for your seat in the above restaurants.  Also I just learned they have a website  https://thehandmadeshowroom.com/ so apparently I don't have to be in Seattle to shop their goods!
