Art lovers in Bangkok are now rejoicing as the city welcomes Van Gogh Life and Art, an exhibition retelling the artist’s life through the multimedia interpretation of his masterpieces.

Unlike other traditional painting showcases, more than 300 paintings of Van Gogh will be projected all over the room, including the floor and the borderless walls. 

You’ll feel as if you’re walking into the paintings instead of just looking at them.

If you’re not already amazed, then this will definitely do the trick. 

The exhibition decided to turn some of Van Gogh’s renowned paintings into actual rooms, in which you can observe and get lost in the artist’s world. 

Beyond this, you’ll find the brief history of Vincent Van Gogh and his personal letters to his brother ‘Theo.’

Health measures put in place

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the exhibition has implemented rules to ensure all visitors’ safety including:
