We’ve all seen Starry Night, the dazzling work of van Gogh, on everything from posters to mouse pads to magnets and coffee mugs. But you’ve never seen it like this. An immersive show called van Gogh, la nuit étoilée, just debuted at the digital art center L’Atelier des Lumières in Paris featuring several of the Dutch artist’s most well-known pieces of work. The exquisite exhibit projects paintings of van Gogh over floors and walls, over 10 meters high, creating an enhanced visual unforgettable experience that’s paired with musical selections from pianist and composer Luca Longobardi.

(1889). The Atelier des Lumières showcases the powerfully expressive brushstrokes of the painter and reveals his chaotic yet genius world. The exhibit follows different stages of the artist’s life, including his time in multiple French cities like Arles, Paris and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
