Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience

Beyond Van Gogh is a touring exhibition that was in the Lower Mainland in early 2023. It’s an immersive experience showcasing the famous works of the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh.

Other Information

Note: The company behind the attraction, Paquin Entertainment, is the same company behind the Beyond King Tut exhibition which was in Vancouver between November 2022 and January 2023. The company was also behind the Marvel Avengers S.T.A.T.I.O.N. which was in Burnaby in the spring and summer of 2023.

Although similar in subject matter and style of exhibition, Imagine Van Gogh and Beyond Van Gogh are unrelated. The former was created by a French company and the latter by Montreal’s Normal Studio. If you have been to Beyond King Tut, or Imagine Picasso or Imagine Van Gogh, and liked them, you’ll no doubt really enjoy Beyond Van Gogh too. Their shows are impressive!
