Experience Van Gogh & Rembrandt in Amsterdam

Van Gogh mentioned Rembrandt over 100 times in his letters to his brother Theo. He was inspired by Rembrandt’s works and his approach to creating them. Van Gogh & Rembrandt in Amsterdam portrays this inspiration in a unique way with an immersive son-et-lumière show, in a location both artists visited when they lived in the city.

The entire inside of the Noorderkerk in Amsterdam is turned into a 360° moving canvas, as the walls and the church rafters portray some of the artists’ most profound works. At the same time, Van Gogh’s own words can be heard throughout the church to tell you his story. This immersive experience is the first of its kind to be shown on such a scale inside a national monument.
