As attendees explore the 30,000-square-foot exhibit, they can expect to hear Van Gogh’s own dreams, thoughts and words set to a symphonic score, creating an unmatched narrative experience. The travelling exhibit has already sold more than three million tickets globally.
“Van Gogh’s work is all about the power of art, the healing qualities of nature and sharing the beauty of the world,” said Fanny Curtat, Art History Consultant for Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience. “We are very excited to bring the Beyond Van Gogh Experience to Charleston, a vibrant city filled with artistic inspiration at every turn. We know locals and visitors alike will appreciate the passion that Van Gogh brought to his art, displayed in a new, interactive way through cutting-edge technology at Beyond Van Gogh.”
