Immerse Yourself in Van Gogh’s World at Shanghai World Expo Museum

Shanghai World Expo Museum is currently hosting the critically-acclaimed “Van Gogh Alive” multimedia exhibition. As the 90th city to host this global sensation, Shanghai offers an unforgettable opportunity to discover the Dutch painter’s life and art.
Utilizing SENSORY4TM technology, “Van Gogh Alive” immerses visitors in nearly 3,000 images of Van Gogh’s paintings, sketches, and letters. The exhibit’s visual feast synchronizes these works with 15 carefully-curated classical music pieces to engage the senses. Already seen by over 10 million people across 30 countries and 89 cities, this innovative experience allows you to walk alongside Van Gogh on his tumultuous artistic journey.
The 1,300 square-meter light and sound space features movie-grade visual projections, over 1,000 square meters of interactive display areas, and more than 8,000 square meters of outdoor “Arles Garden” installations. Highlights include a mirrored sunflower room, recreated models of Van Gogh’s bedroom and potato eaters painting, and multimedia displays of his evocative letters.


As the exhibit coincides with Shanghai’s blooming spring, Van Gogh’s eternal sunflowers become a symbol of hope. His Starry Night imagination resonates with viewers persevering through life’s challenges. Let this immersive celebration of beauty and resilience brighten your world.
