00:00Beyond Van Gogh, the immersive experience is set to return to Liverpool this summer
00:05after attracting 60,000 visitors during its UK premiere in the city in 2024.
00:11For those who came and saw Van Gogh last year, we've added some new enhancements
00:15that we're going to keep as a surprise, but all I can say is the ending should really blow people away
00:21that have not seen it before and also will be returning.
00:24Beyond Monet is also receiving its UK premiere in Liverpool,
00:27bringing the works of the father of Impressionism to life.
00:31This will actually be the European premiere. It's only been seen in North America.
00:35So that is due in part to the incredible reception we had last year from the Exhibition Centre Liverpool
00:41and just the people of Liverpool. They really embraced the experience coming down to the Albert Docks.
00:47It was just incredible to see people that were kind of from all walks of life.
00:51So we knew when we were planning to come to the UK that Liverpool had to be the place for it.
00:56Produced by Anaran Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group,
01:00Beyond Van Gogh, the immersive experience brings together more than 300 of the post-impressionist icons' paintings
01:08blended with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack.
01:13It's really an overwhelming feeling. It's kind of mixed within the soundtrack as well.
01:19It does. It gives you this 360 feeling where you feel like you're taken back into the 1800s in France
01:24and, you know, you feel like you're kind of watching these artists create in real time.
01:29And then it kind of allows people to have their own emotions towards it.
01:33With people able to wander through iconic works, including Starry Night, Sunflower and Terrace of a Cafe at Night.
01:40They will be on alternate days, so it will run as separate events,
01:44but there's lots of opportunity to be able to actually come and see both because they are different events.
01:50Obviously, they are very different people and it's a different experience to be able to really kind of go beyond the frame in both of their artwork.
01:58Beyond Monet has been seen by thousands of people at venues across North America.
02:03More than 400 of the legendary French painter's artworks will come to life.
02:06Beyond Monet brings together some of the artist's most famous canvases,
02:11including Poppy's impression, Sunrise and his exquisite Water Lily series with lesser-known works,
02:18which all swirl around the space, offering a fresh new look at the much-loved masterpieces
02:24and a deeper connection with Monet, his subjects and his innovative technique.
02:28We had yoga sessions last year where you could come and experience the exhibit,
02:32you know, before it opened and do yoga in the immersive room, which were so popular.
02:37So we're coming back and we're doing yoga, we're doing Pilates, we're also doing breath work
02:42and we're also doing paint and sip nights.
02:45The multimedia experience will be at the Waterfront Exhibition Centre Liverpool
02:50from Tuesday 15th of July and will run until Friday 15th of August.
