Van Gogh Alive now showing in Hong Kong

From February 2025, at K11 ATELIER King's Road in Quarry Bay, HK.

In today's rapidly evolving cultural landscape, the boundaries between technology and art continue to blur, creating experiences that transcend traditional limitations. For those who have longed to experience Vincent van Gogh's masterpieces beyond the confines of picture frames, Van Gogh Alive offers an unparalleled journey through his paintings, stories, and artistic vision.

By demonstrating new possibilities for interaction between viewers and art, Van Gogh Alive changes how we think about art consumption in the digital age. It suggests that the future of art appreciation lies not in choosing between traditional and technological approaches, but in finding meaningful ways to combine them.

The far-reaching appeal of Vincent van Gogh

After successfully touring through other Asian destinations such as Taipei, Kaohsiung, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur; KKLive, Grande Experience's long-time partner is now presenting Van Gogh Alive in Hong Kong for an exciting 5-month run from February 2025, at K11 ATELIER King's Road in Quarry Bay.

Van Gogh Alive, presented by Grande Experiences, is the world's most visited multisensory art experience, and stands as one of the most celebrated immersive exhibitions having now toured through more than 100 cities and inspired more than 9 million people worldwide.

What makes this exhibition unique is not just its scale, but its approach to art appreciation. With over 3,000 paintings and images showcased via SENSORY4™ Immersive Technology, visitors can appreciate every brushstroke in extraordinary detail through projection, transforming static artworks into dynamic visual journeys for audiences to engage multiple senses simultaneously.

Beyond viewing: a multisensory journey

Traditional museum exhibitions often limit interactions with masterpieces to mere silent observation from a distance. Van Gogh Alive shatters these conventions, inviting visitors to lose themselves in Van Gogh's vibrant colours and vivid details. The exhibition stimulates sight, sound and even fragrance, creating a truly immersive art technology experience that envelops visitors completely.

The show features carefully selected classical music from composers like Schubert and Bach, that play during specific periods of Van Gogh's life and work, enhancing the auditory experience and emotional depth of the show, while creating resonances between what we see and hear.

The introduction of aromatic elements was designed to stimulate the audience's sense of smell. Audiences can experience the subtle fragrance of flowers while surrounded by Van Gogh's Sunflowers or feel the gentle breeze of a starry night while immersed in the swirling skies of his most famous nocturne. The show's attention to sensory detail transforms art appreciation from a purely visual exercise into a holistic experience.

Van Gogh: meeting the master through technology

For the first time in Hong Kong, the exhibition introduces "AI Van Gogh," a cutting-edge artificial intelligence-powered feature that revives the post-Impressionist icon. This technology creates Impressionist-style portraits tailored for the audience, allowing viewers to walk alongside a digital Van Gogh and step into the vibrant colours of his most captivating works. This innovative approach to virtual art creates a bridge across time, offering a glimpse of what it might have been like to share space with the artist himself.

This approach represents the future of museum experiences, where technology doesn't replace traditional art forms but rather enhances our access to them. By creating a technology-advanced experience within a physical space, Van Gogh Alive demonstrates how digital innovation can make art history more accessible, engaging, and emotionally resonant for contemporary audiences.
