Go for Van Gogh

By: curtis

The Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit is the safest, most stellar show in the city.

The virtuosic 19th-century artist, who sold only a few paintings in his life, could have never imagined his work like this: projected in vibrant hues across a 600,000-cubic-foot labyrinth for a motorcade of virus-averse spectators. The awe-inspiring show features every essential Van Gogh—Starry Night, The Potato Eaters, his iconic self-portrait—in divine detail; brushstrokes look so large they could have been applied by a broom. The drive-through exhibition, held in a defunct printing press at 1 Yonge Street, gets bonus points for being one of the few remaining attractions to remain open and safe for visitors during lockdown.

To Monday, Feb. 15. From $95. vangoghexhibit.ca.
