Two major art exhibitions, “Beyond Monet” and “Beyond Van Gogh”, are coming to Liverpool’s Exhibition Centre this summer. Art lovers can now purchase tickets for both experiences, which will run from July 15 to August 3. Since the pre-sale began on February 14, there has been immense enthusiasm for the events, with nearly 5,000 tickets sold within the first weekend.
Visitors will have the opportunity to explore more than 300 of Van Gogh’s masterpieces and over 400 of Monet’s artworks. Both shows employ advanced technology, blending the artists’ works with curated musical soundtracks. Iconic pieces like Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” and Monet’s “Water Lilies” series will come alive around the visitors.
The Infinity Room, inspired by Paris’ Musée de l’Orangerie, will allow visitors to step inside the paintings, accompanied by a moving original score. This unique opportunity offers audiences a broader context to appreciate the masterpieces of Van Gogh and Monet.
Immersive art arrives in Liverpool
Art historian Fanny Curtat, who consulted on both immersive shows, highlights the unique qualities of each artist, offering a deeper connection to their subjects and techniques. The well-known works of both artists, celebrated today, were once pioneering in their time. The UK premiere of “Beyond Van Gogh” last summer was a massive success, attracting 60,000 visitors.
The show in Liverpool will now be expanded with exciting new features for 2025, which will be revealed in the coming weeks. “Beyond Monet” has already delighted thousands of people across North America and is now making its UK debut in Liverpool. The shows will run from 10am to 8pm Monday to Friday and Sunday, and from 9am to 8pm on Saturdays.
Ticket prices vary depending on the day, with peak prices at £31.33 for adults and £84.44 for a family ticket. All tickets must be booked in advance and are timed entry. This unique cultural event promises to offer visitors an unforgettable immersive art experience, bringing the masterworks of Van Gogh and Monet to life in new and exciting ways.
