"Ever wanted to walk straight into a Van Gogh painting? Here's the immersive show for you. Projectors plaster the great artist's painted worlds across the walls — inviting you to get truly lost in them. Walk through a mirrored room of sunflowers, and be dazzled under a starry canvas in this escapist, highly Instagrammable experience."LONDONIST
