Beyond Monet Will Be Featured Alongside Blockbuster Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience
Tickets On-Sale Now
Producer Paquin Entertainment Group that Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience will open alongside Beyond Van Gogh beginning February 6 at the Wyland Center at Del Mar Fairgrounds. Tickets for either show and combination tickets for both shows are on sale at www.beyondmonet.com and www.beyondvangogh.com.
Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience is full of infinite potential for wonder and sheds new light on what the world thought it knew about Claude Monet. The experience showcases more than 400 of Monet’s most iconic works of impressionism, including the Water Lilies series, Impression: Sunrise, and Poppies.
Blockbuster Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, which has sold over seven million tickets worldwide, will continue to be available at select dates and times. Tickets and the complete schedule are available at www.beyondvangogh.com.
“Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh showed a world filled with brightness, joy, color and emotion. While Van Gogh was seeking to create an art for the future, Monet wanted to submerge the audience in a shoreless landscape, making the work of these larger-than-life artists resonate even more with immersive experiences,” says Fanny Curtat, Art Historian Beyond Monet and Beyond Van Gogh. “To set foot in Beyond Van Gogh and Beyond Monet is to partake in the stunning vision of the world they created.”
Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience gives guests a glimpse into the emotions and perspectives of the leading figure of Impressionism: Claude Monet. After entering the Garden Gallery, the Prism transports visitors into the biggest feature area of the exhibit. Taking inspiration from Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, the designated home of Monet’s masterpieces, guests can freely roam the Infinity Room to absorb the artist’s bright and colorful paintings. Monet’s stunning imagery encompasses every surface of the room, transporting guests inside the paintings themselves. It is a haven for awakening the senses as the ebb and flow of the artwork is accompanied by the rhythm of an original score.
“Through cutting edge technology, both Beyond Monet and Beyond Van Gogh are redefining what art means to people,” says Paquin Entertainment Group’s President of Exhibitions and Theatrical, Justin Paquin. “It has elevated artwork to the next level, allowing us to form new relationships with notable masterpieces that were just not possible in previous years.”
