In March, the Better Business Bureau put out a blast ("art lovers beware!") cautioning New Yorkers of two competing Van Gogh spectacles (Immersive Van Gogh and Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience). Van Gogh Alive, created by an Australian company (Grande Experiences), ramps up the "multi-sensory" aspect of their show by pumping in smells (cypress, lemon, sandalwood - fragrances meant to evoke the landscape of southern France). Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, which launched in 2017 and involves a blend of VR and projections, is currently running in 15 cities across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
At least two more companies are having a gogh at their own separate productions. If your head's already spinning like the sky in Starry Night, we haven't even touched on the dozens of other shows happening worldwide. And in May, Immersive Van Gogh - an exhibit that debuted in Toronto last June - will return to the city, occupying the former home of the Toronto Star printing press, a warehouse that gives them 600,000 cubic feet to play with.įor Vancouver's edition of Imagine Van Gogh, the show is projected on walls that are eight-metres high. Despite that blip, sales suggest the city is still hungry to see it, and Di Corpo says some 50,000 tickets have moved in Edmonton thus far.Īlso in June, Beyond Van Gogh: An Immersive Experience will arrive in Calgary - a completely different production, though also immersive and also involving elaborate projected displays of Van Gogh's paintings. The same spectacle was expected to open in Edmonton last week, though COVID-19 health and safety guidelines have forced it to reschedule to June.
According to the event's marketing and PR director, Angela Di Corpo, roughly 100,000 tickets have sold in the city so far, and its run has been extended through August to meet demand. Masked visitors can roam the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre on a timed ticket, basking in supersized versions of the artist's greatest hits as a classical soundtrack plays. It's a multimedia production, one that takes familiar images of Van Gogh's paintings and blows them up into light projections. Still, since March 19, people in Vancouver have been able to visit something called Imagine Van Gogh: The Immersive Exhibition. On the other hand, soft-sided bags – especially ones with exterior compression straps – can be useful when space is at a premium, allowing you to customise the space available depending on the contents.Movies and concerts are off-limits, and getting lost inside an art gallery remains forbidden. We’d recommend opting for cases with waxed fabric (as this will provide brilliant protection against wear and tear) and plenty of pockets (ideally ones accessible from the interior and exterior) for cables and power packs.Īdrenaline junkies and backpackers, meanwhile, are more likely to value bags with multiple interior compartments, which are a lifesaver when it comes to separating sand or sweat-covered gear from other items. Wondering how you’ll find the right one? With so many styles on offer, we recommend writing down your priorities, along with a list of the items you’re most likely to be transporting.įor example, travellers with an abundance of tech should consider tougher builds. There are duffel-style bags with removable straps as well as over-the-shoulder types which offer the perfect combination of style and what we refer to as stuffability – in other words, easy access and room for pretty much everything barring the kitchen sink. When it comes to packing before you travel, there are ample options to choose from. Although we’ve still got a soft spot for the compact simplicity of a hard-sided cabin case, we’ve also got plenty of time for other types of hand luggage. One thing’s for sure – the humble cabin bag has evolved beyond all recognition.
