Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit San Francisco is a multimedia art installation located in the SoMa district at 10 S Van Ness Ave. The exhibit transforms Van Gogh's iconic paintings, like Starry Night, Sunflowers, and Irises, into larger-than-life projections that fill the walls and floors of a former warehouse. Visitors walk through a series of rooms where the images pulse, swirl, and shift to a musical score, creating a sensory experience that feels like stepping inside the paintings. The exhibit is distinctive for its use of cutting-edge projection technology and its focus on the emotional intensity of Van Gogh's work. You can sit on the floor or stand as the art moves around you; mirrors and reflective surfaces add depth. The experience lasts about 35 minutes and loops continuously, so you can stay as long as you like.
