Immerse Yourself in the World of Van Gogh at Konica Minolta Planetaria TOKYO
A 360-Degree Journey Through the Master’s Art
Prepare to be captivated by the vibrant colors and swirling brushstrokes of Vincent van Gogh like never before. From October 1st to November 23rd, 2024, Konica Minolta Planetaria TOKYO invites you to experience "Immersive Planetarium Van Gogh," a special program that transforms the planetarium’s dome into a breathtaking canvas of the artist’s most iconic works.
This next-generation immersive experience uses cutting-edge technology to project Van Gogh’s masterpieces, including "The Starry Night" and "Sunflowers," onto the 15-meter diameter dome of DOME1. Unlike traditional planetariums, DOME1’s projection extends from ceiling to walls, fully enveloping you in a uniquely immersive art experience. Step into the world of Van Gogh’s paintings and witness his genius come to life in a stunning 360-degree spectacle.
Highlights of the Immersive Experience
1. Capture the Moment: Photography Allowed!
The 105-minute program features a 35-minute video presentation, looped three times. This curated selection of 13 scenes, organized by period and theme, showcases the evolution of Van Gogh’s artistic style and palette. With so much to see, each viewing offers new discoveries. Feel free to capture your favorite moments—photography is encouraged! You can also enjoy conversations and refreshments from the adjacent cafe while seated or strolling through the exhibit. Find your own perfect way to connect with Van Gogh’s art.
