If You could take a stroll under the swirling colours of Vincent van Gogh’s The Starry Night, would you? Well, now you can at the National Museum of China in Beijing.

Populist multimedia exhibits, just like the Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience in Beijing, are drawing in the crowds.

Art is being presented and experienced in a mind-blowing manner.

Thanks to the most recent virtual projection technology, visitors are now becoming a part of the spectacular, incomparable universe of art once they walk through the door of an exhibit.

It’s all about innovative “digital art” that combines projections, sound and carefully designed spaces to create other-worldly, immersive experiences, and Japan’s art collective teamlab has been leading the way with such futuristic exhibits.

Its recent work, a digital forest at the Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore, has also made its rounds on social media.
