The interactive exhibition "Van Gogh en Vivo: La Experiencia Real" (Van Gogh Alive: The Real Experience) is now open in Puerto Rico on the second level of Plaza Las Américas in San Juan, offering an immersive walk through the work of Vincent van Gogh. The experience has 10 themed rooms and runs 50 minutes, and is designed for audiences of all ages.
According to the exhibition’s producer in Puerto Rico, Josantonio Mellado Jr., visitors will find full-scale sets inside iconic works such as The Bedroom in Arles, can walk through an immersive 360-degree sunflower field and a Starry Night room, and can make their own self-portrait, of which Van Gogh painted between 35 and 40. Mellado highlighted the artist’s technique and particular color palette, saying he "was ahead of his time."
The exhibition’s works are held by institutions including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) in New York, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and the Kröller-Müller and Van Gogh museums in the Netherlands. The exhibition is open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Tickets are available through Buyatix and at the box office at the exhibition entrance.
