“Van Gogh, as well as being the extraordinary artist we all know, is intimately linked to the history of Exhibition Hub.  He was the theme of our first immersive exhibition, which toured the world attracting millions of visitors and continues to do so.  Combining our passion for Van Gogh with that of the film teams, bringing together the best of two contemporary artistic worlds, was therefore an obvious choice and promises to offer the public a vision of Vincent’s legacy that could not be more organic.  We’re really looking forward to bringing you the result!”  says Gilles Colinet, Marketing Director of Exhibition Hub.

More ‘Van Gogh’ filmmaker and celebrity attachments will be announced soon.

“Visiting the Van Gogh exhibition was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.  Going in there is like walking into Vincent’s world.  You see his vision, even understand his mind.  You walk through those rooms, and glistening lights project the painting onto you – so you don’t just see it, you feel it.  I can’t explain that ethereal experience, it is just absolutely magical.” says singer Simonna, who is featured on the “Van Gogh” movie soundtrack.
