My wife and I went earlier this week and really enjoyed it. We splurged and got the VIP tickets, which include the VR experience...totally worth it! We both thought it was different, but very well done.

We spoke with one of the employees, who let us know that the Raleigh location is going to be more of a semi-permanent location. They'll be doing Monet, Klimt, Magritte and Dinos Alive later this year in the same location (in the former movie theater/Fitness Connection at Pleasant Valley).

Seems so incredibly overpriced. Someone mentioned the Louvre, but maybe a better comparison is the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. That one is €19. Or the MOMA in NYC, home of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, which is $25. This seems like paying more for a Pink Floyd laser show than seeing Pink Floyd itself.

That looks like a great place to go on acid.

I just can't see myself doing it for $35 each time, $70 for two adults and no kids. And looking at early reviews of people who are trying to get refunds, it really looks like an unprofessional and perhaps shady operation.

So many negative posts from so many who have not been to the exhibit. I have tickets to go in a May. Price doesn’t bother me. It will be an enjoyable experience with friends and a nice lunch out afterwards.

Srsly! It's not that expensive; my sister and her BIL and some others are going tomorrow, I'm sure they will enjoy it and a nice day out.

The price doesn't bother me. I visited the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, the touring exhibit at the Smithsonian while the Van Gogh museum was being renovated, and the Musée d'Orsay (a smaller number of paintings) where I don't feel a need to see a digital representation.
