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.

2. Interactive Exhibits and Photo Opportunities:

Beyond the immersive dome experience, your ticket grants access to interactive exhibits and photo booths. Step into a "Photo Gogh" portrait and capture your likeness in Van Gogh’s signature style. Don’t miss the photogenic sunflower decorations for another memorable photo opportunity.

3. Delight in Themed Treats:

Indulge in a limited-edition menu inspired by Van Gogh’s masterpieces at the adjacent "Cafe Planetaria." Bring your visually appealing treats and drinks into DOME1 and savor them during the show. Capture the perfect Instagram shot by combining your themed snacks with the projected artwork.

4. Exclusive Souvenirs:

Visit the "Gallery Planetaria" shop and browse a unique collection of Van Gogh-themed merchandise.
