Immersive Monet Experience
I had such high expectations for the Immersive Monet exhibit because we loved the Van Gogh one so much and I love Monet's art work even more. Alec and I went this past weekend and we spent a good 2 hours inside.
It was in the same building and space that housed the Van Gogh exhibit so we expected a similar set up.
We read about Monet's life and works and home. We watched a short computer animated video about the start of the impressionist movement and Monet's role in it.
Then we stepped into a room that was set up to look like Monet's art studio/salon. There were reproductions of his art all around, little handwritten notes/thoughts sprinkled throughout and even a little window where you could look out onto a scene from Monet's garden complete with bridges, hanging plants, and koi pond.
From there we stepped out into Monet's garden. Now these next two photos look awful but I promise you in real life it wasn't nearly so blue or hazy in there... but it did feel a bit like you had stepped right into a painting Monet had painted of his beautiful gardens.
The floor was covered in artificial grass, there was a cement koi pond in the middle with fish and waterlilies projected on it. There was a cute bench and two curved bridges covered in ivy, wisteria and flowers. It was really rather magical feeling.
A group of women came in and asked us to take their photo and then offered to take one of us... can you even see us? LOL
The last room was the projection room where Monet's paintings are projected onto all 4 walls. We found a bench in the middle and sat through the whole thing. Relaxing music plays and the pictures projected onto the walls and floor are always changing.
It was great and even having studied Monet and his work quite extensively in college, I found a few "new" works of art I hadn't known about!

What a cool way to get to experience Monet's work! And for you to learn about new works of art. Very neat!! Thanks for sharing about your time there.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteThat sounds lovely! I have never been to an immersive experience before, but I love museums.
ReplyDeleteThey are a lot of fun; not quite a museum since all the works are reproductions but it's fun to see them larger than life.
DeleteAbsolutely amazing! Would love to see this!
ReplyDeleteIt was really fun.
DeleteThese types of exhibits often come to Atlanta but I still haven't gone to one.

DeleteI would like to see something like this!
ReplyDeleteIt's really a very different way to experience art.
DeleteThat looks so much better than the Van Gogh we went to! Wow! Love Monet!
ReplyDeleteI love Monet too!
DeleteI took Wyatt to the Van Gogh immersive and he loved it. So did I! I would love to go to another one.
ReplyDeleteWe loved the Van Gogh one too so I had been keeping an eye out for another one to check out.
DeleteHis work really is beautiful and would love to see this.
ReplyDeleteHis work is really lovely.
DeleteMonet is one of my faves- had his lillies, in a print, in my dorm room :)
ReplyDeleteSo did my sister!
DeleteI haven't been to either one, but they both look so interesting. If this one comes around. I should make time to go.
ReplyDeleteYou should!

DeleteThis is such a lovely post. It was different than the Van Gough Immersive experience in that we didn't go into any rooms with furniture simulating the studio. That ws unique. It looks like you had a fabulous time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was definitely different than the Van Gogh experience.
DeleteI love how you went to this. I've seen it advertised but we never pulled the trigger.

Aw, thank you!
DeleteWhat a treat for the eyes and soul. Happy Halloween too!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWe did something similar to this back in the year after Covid during Thanksgiving break. We loved it! We are all wearing masks in the photos tho! Lol! And then had Cheesecake Factory after!

That sounds like fun; especially the Cheesecake Factory afterwards. YUM
DeleteWhat a fantastic exhibition. It looks so interesting and I love how it is set up. I imagine the garden really was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is so unique - I will look for something like this coming through our town.
ReplyDeleteWow. That's stunning! I'm in the cabinet refinishing industry so I've seen plenty of paintings. Nothing like this though. That's amazing. Thanks for sharing.
