15 Cities That Have Both an Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit and the Artist’s Real Paintings

But there’s no right or wrong way to admire the beauty of Van Gogh’s art, and getting to see his actual paintings is just as transportive. Granted, a visit to the museum doesn’t look as good on Insta, but getting to see his brushstroke and the subtle details he included in his landscapes and still lifes up close is an incomparable experience. To make sure you get to enjoy both, here are all the cities in the US where you can go to an immersive Van Gogh digital show and see the artist’s real paintings — all on the same day.
