Van Gogh and Rembrandt Immersive Experience Amsterdam
Description
Prepare for an immersive journey into the artistic mind of Vincent van Gogh and his profound admiration for Rembrandt at an exclusive exhibition held within Amsterdam's historic Noorderkerk. This isn't the Van Gogh Museum, but rather a unique experience designed to illuminate the captivating link between these two Dutch masters. The story truly unfolds around you, whether you choose to lay back in comfortable beanbags or take a leisurely stroll through the church. You'll not only see but also hear how Van Gogh found profound inspiration in Rembrandt's paintings, etchings, and the broader artistic views of the great master. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to delve deep into Van Gogh's artistic perspective, offering a fresh lens through which to view his work. You might even come away seeing Rembrandt as the original influencer of art, setting a precedent for artistic inspiration that resonated deeply with Van Gogh centuries later. Please note: this is not the Van Gogh museum.

Itinerary
The exposition Van Gogh & Rembrandt in Amsterdam tells the story of how the two painters are connected, how Van Gogh became fascinated by Rembrandt and even inspired by him. Inside the monumental Noorderkerk you can sit, lay down or walk around while you take in their story. It is told through Van Gogh’s letters to his brother and artwork of both artists. A story told through light and sound Van Gogh & Rembrandt in Amsterdam is the first son-et-lumière (sound and light) show to be shown on such a scale inside a national monument. The show uses the entire interior of the Noorderkerk, from the walls to the brim, as its setting creating a 360° moving canvas. Inside the church, you’ll find yourself surrounded by sunflowers, angels and blossoms as you experience the admiration Vincent van Gogh had for Rembrandt van Rijn. Please be in time for your reserved timeslots, if the show has started no entries are allowed. The show takes 40 minutes. Please note: this is not the Van Gogh Museum.

Go! It’s fantastic. A look into the artist’s life and mind. Easy to get to and you can sit in a pew or lay on mats on the floor.
This was something unexpected. It was an informative, beautiful experience! All in our group enjoyed it!
Very relaxing and a cool way to learn and experience both Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Fancied this over the museum and would thoroughly recommend.

I came here by accident. I booked a show a couple of weeks before, thinking I was going to Van Gogh Museum. Even thought it wasn’t what I was expecting, I loved it. It was 40-50 mins movie about Van Gogh and how he was inspired by Rembrandt. It was easy to tell, whoever created this space worked really hard on the idea, on the movie and the concept. I loved it. I recommend it especially for the ones who find museums boring, this isn’t a museum, this is an experience Thank you T

It was a lot of beautiful painting copies cut and pasted to supposedly tell a stoty. The msrketing was good.
Graphics and sound quality were both second rate and unimpressive. The fact that the venue was a beautiful old church could not compensate for an uninteresting show. Worst of all, I kept waiting for the links between Van Gogh's art and Rembrandt's. I'm still waiting.
