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.
Each exhibit seems to have is own bent. The one in Charlotte, the projections were on the floor, ceiling and walls to make visitors feel like they were in the painting. It was listed as an immersive experience. I have friends who went and loved it. I went to the one at Biltmore. That exhibit gave a history of Van Gogh and different periods in in work as well as influences. That was the first room and then you went into a larger room with the projections. The first room explained the order and groupings of how Van Gogh's work was going to be presented. I loved it and learned some new things about the artist. Plus seeing his work in that format was impressive. It was pricey but so was Biltmore and it was worth it to me. Biltmore is also doing a Monet show but it will be Monet and other impressionists. IMHO, this type of display was perfect for Van Gogh's work but I would not want to see impressionists painting blown up so large. To appreciate an impressionist work you need to step back and see how it comes together. YMMV.
The lack of organization of the Raleigh show prior to opening is unfortunate. Regardless of the quality of the show it was not good press and did not instill buyer confidence.
I got tix for next week, but not the VR stuff. I hope its interesting at least since the last official exhibit I went to was Jackson Pollock at MOMA....speaking of mental health.
You can visit the entire Louvre in Paris for about $20 (excluding airfare!)
How things change. I visited the Louvre in 1982 and paid $1.35 to enter. And there was no waiting line; just walked straight in. I hear about 1-2 hour waits now. Yeah, it was 40 years ago but it was about the same price as going to a movie here.

The good old days when you wouldn't see or hear a word of English in Paris and large parts of the city looked about the same as they did in 1945.
