You can’t miss “Living Van Gogh” because…
Porto has hosted several immersive exhibitions in recent times, but believe me, nothing compares to what you’ll feel in “Living Van Gogh.
With artistic direction by Nuno Maya and directing by Massimiliano Siccardi, in this experience you will be transported to another dimension.
What will you find? In the first stage, more than 150 paintings on three-dimensional canvases will take you into the mind of this genius, way ahead of his time. However, the exhibition doesn’t stop there and contains various interactive attractions and lots of surprises, that promise to please kids and adults alike.
Although it’s recognized by everyone today, the truth is that it wasn’t always like this. For example, did you know that Vincent van Gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime?
His 100% dedication to his passion for art was only possible thanks to the financial and unconditional support of his younger brother, Théo van Gogh.
This fraternal and tender relationship is honored in the original creation, the “Symphony of Sunflowers”.
Here, you can immerse yourself in Vincent’s voracious interior, in close music, giant sunflower sculptures, lighting effects and the ‘icing on the cake’ – the recitation of Al Berto’s poem “Last letter from van Gogh to Théo”.
What are you waiting for? Remember, you only have until September 1st to visit this incredible immersive exhibition!
