Provided a relaxing and soothing immersive experience. Projections were good but not necessarily easy to follow as an observer to ensure you saw everything on offer as there were different things going on in different places. We feel like we missed some of the things projected. Expect to spend 30-40 mins or so at the experience. We booked on the day but there weren’t many people in there so you could likely just turn up. Considering that it was the same cost for entrance into the Jorvik Viking Centre though, it was expensive for what it was.

Was lovely. Recommend sitting in one of the centre seats. A lovely projection of Van Gogh's works. Very calming.

I expected more from this exhibition. I think that at the beginning more paintings should be presented and in different way. Actually there are more Van Gogh self portraits there than his work which is a shame. With sach waste number of paintings only fewer were chosen and that was quite repetitive. VR experience was good but you need to pay additional £3 but it worth it. There is as well space where you can colouring. I think the tickets are quite expensive for what you got. I was really excited to see this exhibition and I am not fully satisfied.
