AN IMMERSIVE attraction which brings the works of Vincent Van Gogh spectacularly to life is set to come to Aberdeen.
Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience will be staged at the port city’s P&J Live event complex for one month only from July 12 to August 10 2025.
The exhibition’s Scottish premiere at Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus (SEC) this summer saw 50,000 visitors come through its doors – with the attraction ending up extending its run by three weeks due to demand.
Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience features more than 300 of the post-Impressionist icon’s paintings using technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of one of history’s most influential artists.
Attendees will be able to wander through iconic works - including The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Terrace of a Café at Night.
Tickets go on pre-sale this Thursday (November 28) at 9am for those signed up to the Beyond Van Gogh UK website.
Tickets then go on general sale on Friday 29 November 2024 at 9am.
Anna Parry, UK business development at Annerin Productions, said: “I’m thrilled that we’re finally able to announce that Beyond Van Gogh is coming to Aberdeen for summer 2025.
“We had an amazing response from visitors when we held the Scottish premiere in Glasgow earlier this year, and we decided to almost double its run as a result. It’s evident there’s a real passion and demand in Scotland for great art and exciting experiences; we’re incredibly excited to be the first to bring an experience of this kind to Northern Scotland. We know everyone who comes to immerse themselves in Van Gogh’s incredible world at P&J Live will have a memorable visit.
“The event complex is an absolutely fantastic space to showcase Beyond Van Gogh, and we’ve already enjoyed so much support and enthusiasm from the wonderful P&J Live team.”
Claire-Lena Miller-Davis, exhibition sales manager at P&J Live, added: “We are delighted to welcome Beyond Van Gogh to our venue, bringing an exciting cultural experience to the people of the North East of Scotland. It’s a real privilege to host this event, and from the outset we have seen significant interest from both local and national visitors, which is fantastic for the City. The experience is truly awe-inspiring and we can’t wait to share it.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
