    inside the main room - starry starry night

    I loved this exhibit! Even though all the 'paintings' were projections on the wall, it was so cool too actually 'see' so many of Van Gogh's paintings all in one spot, to be able to compare, contrast, observe, admire, think. In fact, it was cool to be able to get as close as you wanted to the 'paintings' since there was no way to damage them. I think this format has great potential for sharing works of art in a new way. In one small 'room,' a large vase protruding from the wall, created the backdrop for a conglomeration of Van Gogh's paintings of flowers in flower pots. To see all of his paintings meld into each other was pretty incredible- to see the similarities and differences. I could have watched this for soooo long! I enjoyed seeing the true-to-painting famous room that Van Gogh painted repeatedly- without any statues. Very cool! The main event was 360 degree projections in a giant 'room,' with floor to ceiling screens at least 2 stories high. This was magical, incredible, and so creative. The addition of movement and music and story just took me on a journey that was emotional, beautiful, and all-consuming. The 3D virtual event was interesting - and definitely took things to an entirely different dimension as well. I left wanting more! I was already a Van Gogh fan before walking in the door, but I would 100% attend another exhibit in similar format for a different painter, even if I knew nothing about their life. The exhibit took place in the gorgeous, historic Olympia Theater.

    I believe compliments are due to the promoters who have done an excellent job hyping the show. If you are an art aficionado this show will likely offend you to the core. If you are a Tik Tok child who likes bright show lights this one is for you. Essentially this is a projected show of Van Gogh's works. Bright shiny lights without the real works. There is some history which is interesting, but for the price the word "tourist trap" rings in my head.

    Super interactive! This was such a great experience and I feel like I learned so much about van Gogh himself and his art. If you're looking to see his actual paintings, this isn't the exhibit for you and you'll have to go to museums in Amsterdam, Paris etc. because these are all replicas of his work and projected images but not the originals. I really enjoyed watching the various videos about his pieces and learning about his life. At the end there was a really cute activity where you can draw your own art with crayons and I really enjoyed it. Haven't used crayons in about 15 years so that was fun. The entire exhibit takes about an hour to get through but you can easily spend more time if you want to read everything. Tickets- they make you download an app and buy the tickets through it. There is a student discount!! As well as seniors and military. Parking- downtown Miami is a ghost town but I went during lunch time so it was actually pretty busy. Parking is like $15 for valet but I was able to find Pay By Phone parking near bay front park and walk 2 blocks to the exhibit.

    Our school took our students to the Van Gogh museum for a field trip, and this is one of the best museums I've been to in south Florida. When you walk in, you are completely immersed into Van Gogh's work. The museum is structured is 3 exhibits (gallery walkthrough, creative studio, and theater projection of his art). The staff of the museum were so helpful and accommodating to our group. They gave us a plethora is information on Van Gogh and the museum itself, and they helped guide our group efficiently so that we can enjoy each exhibit thoroughly. All of our students were in awe at this experience, and they did not want to leave. I highly recommend if you want a nice outing, day date, and group trip, to come to the Van Gogh Immersive Experience.

    This exhibition is a must !! I felt so immersed into Vincent Van Gogh's work. The sound, lights, color are amazing !!! We did the VIP, which included the virtual experience, skip the line, and a poster. Be prepared to relax and live one of your best experiences ever !!!

    This exhibit was here during the summer. I missed it and forgot about it. However, I found the event again. During Art Week Miami, they had tickets with a discount price. (It was almost half of the original price. ) So, after work, I asked my coworkers to go with me. The location is downtown, and the parking was a little bit hectic. There were several garages and street parking available. My friend found the valet parking at $18.00, and she took that one. I was driving around to see which place was better. Right behind this Olympia Theater, there was "City Parking." It was Pay by phone. But I didn't know $10 per hour to park. In the end, we ended up spending over $30 for a few hours of parking. So, if you are planning to go to this exhibit and hang around downtown, the best way is to use the valet service. So, you don't have to worry about extending the time. The exhibit was excellent, but I thought it was bigger. But each room had something interesting to see. I liked the mixture of digital art and the 3D object. You need about one hour to enjoy the experience. I am not sure I would pay the full price to go here.

    I visited on Sunday and had a good time. I enjoyed the Chi it and learned quite a bit about Van Gogh. It was beautiful and kept my interest. I rated this 3 stars however because I believe it is VERY expensive considering it only takes about an hour to go through. And although I loved the exhibit I felt that the art looked very pixelated. The art (and frames) were printed on a weird fabric which looked cheap, didn't give me a good visual on the brush strokes, and overall looked very pixelated. That was probably the bigger disappointment.

    I went here with a friend and was so excited to go but I couldn't justify a 5 star rating. Maybe I'm a snob - I'm from NYC- but I was expecting a bit more. You really only need an hour to go through the exhibit to see Van Gogh and understand everything about his life. I did love the room where you sit and look at all the walls with his projected paintings. I did love the room where you "color" a picture and then it is projected on the wall to show your talents. That was cool. I did not pay an extra $5 to do the vr upstairs- And I believe I made the right call. I ordered the tickets in advance (about two months) and went with a friend I had t seen in 10 years! I did not use the valet for $18 not just b/c of the most eh but I had heard you could wait for your car a long time. I parked nearby outside - I found a good spot. The area is run down so when I got to the venue early I walked around a little to Starbucks and Whole Foods- btw, if you need to use a restroom before hand go to Whole Foods as they are the only ones in the area that will let you use their facilities. The area around the Olympia Theatre is totally run down - ironically the hip area of Brickell is just a short walk over the bridge...

    My wife is a big Van Gogh lover, so we just had to try out this experience. They had valet parking which made it easy, and allowed us to go from car to the entrance very quickly. The visuals and music was fantastic, made for a truly relaxing mood. We skipped the VR session but many people were trying it out and seemed to be all smiles. You can spend a little bit extra after the main showing to add the VR option even if you don't book your ticket with it already attached, which is nice. Overall had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this to art lovers and anyone looking for a relaxed and enjoyable audio+video experience.

    8-5-22 1:30pm Friday In the Summer my company has us on half days on Friday's so wanting to make the most of this gift of time decided to come here for the afternoon with my son. I heard rave reviews from my friends who had went. So I take the trek to Downtown Miami not the easiest place to get in and out of. The tickets I bought online and they were actually priced better for weekday afternoon both tickets were just shy of $80 bucks expensive to me. Ok so we head out on 95 South just to sit in bumper to bumper traffic before we get to the Express lane it says the toll was $1.50 but I could care less I just want to get there. Once we take the Miami Avenue exit we work our way over to the historic Olympia Theater on Flagler. But we hit a snag seems like they want to tear up all of Flagler so we park in the nearest garage. Rates rival NYC pricing and are actually dirtier and scarier. I was so glad I was with my son and it was daylight. The garage ended up at $28. for 1.5 hours. We get to the theater they scan our tickets on our phone. Note we were actually a little earlier and they still let us in. The exhibit started with the beautiful backdrop of the famous sunflowers that Van Gogh was famous for painting. But did you know he did a series of this flower not just one painting. You go through and read about the history of his life. Which ended at 33 of suicide. His most famous painting was done from the insane asylum where he lived the painting is Royal blue called starry night. It has stars in the sky over a small village with a dead tree in the background. His last know painting was of tree roots. He became most famous as with most artists after death. He was friends with Paul Gauguin however they had an argument and Van Gogh went in the street and cut off his own ear. Makes you wonder if he was insane or just without medical attention that caused his life to be as it was. After walking through the history of his life you go into a room that you could sit on a bench for 30 minutes and watch this same story in a variation play out through music and lights. After there is a room you can color I am assuming for kids and next you could pay an additional $5.for a VR version. There is also a gift shop at the end. We were surprised that this is all that was there that we went to the beginning to see if we missed anything. I love South Florida but we are not NYC,Paris,Vatican City, London or any other great museums that I have been fortunate to see great art and work.

    A sheer delight. You simply must go! We went to the Miami location a few weeks ago and had a great time learning about Van Gogh and the immersive exhibits. (Wouldn't bring small children)

    Jennifer C.

    This was fun. My kids and i went during the daytime. Might as well get the VIP experience if you want to do VR and get a poster. If those aren't your style, pay the regular fee and enjoy your walk. The exhibit had a short video (5-8 min), many prints, so much information! But I really felt like I understood his art so much better. The Immersive room was really cool. That runs on a 35 min video experience. They have bean bags and benches to watch the show. They don't sell food, but it's downtown Miami, and there are several options to choose from. The VR experience was well worth the $5 to do

    I went yesterday and it was amazing, I absolutely loved it what you see in the videos is the main room, it also has a Virtual Reality experience, which of course I could not document, that was also incredible, I highly recommend this, it is a unique way to admire Van Gogh amazing works @vangogh.experience

We showed up at 9:10 AM, exactly as instructed, only to be told our booking had been moved to 11:30 AM without any notice whatsoever. No email. No call. Nothing. Just "oh yeah, it was changed." From there, it was 30 minutes of standing around, being sent back and forth between employees who clearly had no idea what was going on. Eventually, we were told we'd receive a refund and a free boat tour as compensation for the inconvenience. Sounds reasonable, right? Except when they went to process it, they tried to charge the boat tour tickets against the refund credit -- essentially undoing the compensation they just promised. If we hadn't been paying attention, we would have been charged anyway. Luckily, we caught it, demanded clarity, and only then did they issue a full refund and actually give us the boat tour tickets for free like they said they would in the first place. The boat tour itself (celebrity homes) was fine -- nothing special -- but that's not the point. We're locals who intentionally tried to spend the day as tourists, and this experience made it painfully clear how miserable this must be for out-of-towners who don't know better. Disorganized, misleading, and careless with customers' time and money. Miami deserves better than operations like this -- and tourists definitely do.

The meet-up point is the Art Deco Welcome Center in South Beach, located in a park adjacent to the beach at 10th Street. We parked in a pay-lot about 4 blocks away on Washington Street. There were plenty of spaces when we arrived at 9:45 a.m. or so, but it was pretty full later when we left (a bit before 1 p.m.). I was pleasantly surprised that the cost was under $10! We checked in and were invited to browse the gift shop or to check out the Art Deco Museum. We did both. They also issued us lanyard-and-headphone combos for the tour. They had enough people booked such that they split it into 2 tours. Whoever was there a bit early was assigned to the first one, and we headed out by 10:20 a.m. Our guide was Howard. He had a voice that carried quite a ways, so we didn't end up needing the headphones. Given the topology, there were no hills to climb. Everything was uniformly flat. The tour began with a short history of Miami Beach, the concept of Art Deco, and why there happened to be a concentration of the style there. They later touched on how the preservation efforts saved it in the 1970s. Much of the rest of the tour was walking up Ocean Blvd (as well as some other streets) with Howard pointing out features on various buildings and how they reflect various aspects of Art Deco. It also involved the history of the buildings and what they are used for currently. We went into the lobby of one hotel for an interior glimpse. The tour also included a few other miscellaneous structures along the route (Versace's mansion and the oldest remaining house on the island, from 1916). The tour wrapped up after a bit over 90 minutes back near the visitors' center where it started. I thought this was quite a good overview of the subject and provided a lot of insights about the area and its history.
