Van Gogh art becomes multi-sensory outdoor exhibition

From Morning Report, 8:46 am on 28 August 2020

The life and work of Vincent van Gogh is the subject of a brand new multi-sensory outdoor exhibition opening in Wellington tonight.

 Thousands of his paintings, including "The Starry Night", "Cafe Terrace at Night", and "Almond Blossoms" will be projected onto an enclosed complex of towering shipping crates.

Set to a background of surround-sound music and with a view of Wellington's own starry-night, the exhibit is being heralded as unlike anything New Zealand has seen before.

RNZ Wellington reporter Harry Lock went to have a sneak peak.
