"We are so thrilled that Hollywood has embraced the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit with open arms," says Lighthouse Immersive Producer, Corey Ross. "The former Amoeba Music is an iconic Los Angeles location with a rich history in music, arts and entertainment and Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit is the perfect blend of all of those things," adds Svetlana Dvoretsky, Lighthouse Immersive Producer.

 “Impact Museums is thrilled to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to life in the heart of Los Angeles where the arts are ingrained in the city’s culture,” says Diana Rayzman, Co-Producer and Co-Founder of Impact Museums. “While Amoeba has since moved locations, their former location will now become an art and culture center in the heart of Los Angeles featuring a variety of different immersive experiences.”

"Amoeba looks forward to having the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit join the Hollywood arts family. It will be great to see our former home transformed into a new visual and auditory experience!" says Jim Henderson, co-owner, Amoeba Music.

“What makes Immersive Van Gogh so unique and original is that his work surrounds us,” says actress Lily Collins. “For hundreds of years, people would go to art galleries and gaze at works hanging in frames on the wall but the museum envelopes us and frees us to bring our lives and experiences into this new form of creation.”

Visitors at the original Immersive Van Gogh will enjoy extraordinary large-scale projections showcasing the genius behind the artist. The original Immersive Van Gogh exhibit features a highly curated selection of images from Van Gogh’s catalog of masterpieces including Mangeurs de Pommes de Terre (The Potato Eaters, 1885), Nuit étoilée (Starry Night, 1889), Les Tournesols (Sunflowers, 1888), and La Chambre à coucher (The Bedroom, 1889). The original Immersive Van Gogh has received rave reviews from critics worldwide. The Chicago Tribune exclaimed, “entire rooms pulse with imagery and emotional resonance.” The Toronto Sun declared, “the mind-blowing imagery, brings van Gogh’s best work to life — including Sunflower, Irises, and The Starry Night — for a cathartic and liberating experience.” “Immersive Van Gogh ups the emotional ante,” Toronto Star stated, “I wondered: could projections of paintings on walls and floors be thrilling? The answer is ‘yes.’” Called a “completely new way of encountering art” by CTV and a “blockbuster digital experience that has taken the art world by storm” by Artnet News, the exhibit “cleverly embraces creativity,” according to The Washington Post. The San Francisco Chronicle summed it up saying “It’s one hell of a way to wake up from our long pandemic art nap.” The hour-long experience is designed with the highest safety standards and protocols in mind.
