Immersive Van Gogh debuted in Chicago Thursday. This is the U.S. debut for the show from the creators of a similar show at Atelier des Lumieres in Paris, seen by more than 2 million visitors.

Featuring 500,000 cubic feet of projections animating Vincent van Gogh’s art, visitors see moving images revealing brush strokes, color and detail. The exhibition includes Les Mangeurs de pommes de terre (The Potato Eaters, 1885), Nuit étoilée (Starry Night, 1889), Les Tournesols (Sunflowers, 1888), La Chambre à coucher (The Bedroom, 1889) and much more. It truly is immersive and amazing. It is dazzling with sight and sound.

From 70 projectors, Van Gogh’s art is brought to life through music, light and animation. “Immersive Van Gogh is a new way of encountering art,” stated coproducer Corey Ross.

As with another show currently in Toronto, the exhibition is custom-designed for the Lighthouse ArtSpace Chicago within the historic Germania Club. Built in 1889 on the near north side of Chicago, the Germania Club is on the National Register of Historic Places and also has a Chicago Landmark designation. Prominently featured in the Grand Ballroom is the world’s largest non-religious stained-glass portrait.

Oct 12, 2026The Quest for Quiet: Choose the Best Noise-Canceling Headsets to Suit Your Travel Style
Back in the 1990s, when I was traveling on my airline pilot father’s standby passes, there weren’t many ways for passengers to cancel ambient noise while in flight. I remember squishing and twisting little yellow pairs of foam earplugs with my fingers and letting them rise in my ears while I swirled ice around in my Pawberry Punch and ripped open a cold pouch of Delta-branded Biscoff cookies. Much has changed in travel technology since those days; and although I’ll forever miss Dusty the Delta Air Lion, I’m happy to report no more need for plastic ear foam.
