Van Gogh Alive at The Grand Pavilion

After being the first city in Australia to host Van Gogh Alive in 2020, the global immersive art experience is back in Sydney for another round.

Arriving at the new, purpose-built Grand Pavilion at The Entertainment Quarter at Moore Park back in December 2022, Van Gogh Alive is a multi-sensory experience, with multiple spaces and projections dedicated to the post-impressionist artists’s work.

Enter the pavilion to the interpretive area, where you will read about the life and works of Van Gogh. Next, visit a life-size recreation of the paintings Van Gogh’s Bedroom and Starry Starry Night before stepping into a mirrored sunflower room. Then, head into the gallery, which features large projections of Van Gogh’s work and designs set to a classical score. The sensory experience will have you feeling like you’re stepping inside Van Gogh’s most famous paintings.

Once sufficiently immersed in the artwork, make a trip to a recreation of the Cafe Terrace at Night painting for a glass of champagne and a snack. There’s also a gift store with plenty of Van Gogh-themed merchandise to take home with you.

Van Gogh Alive runs from December 8, 2022 to February 26, 2023. Tickets on sale now; prices vary.
