Even if you have studied the life and work of a particular artist in-depth, there is something to be said for getting a new perspective on even the most well-known works of art.
You could say the artist Vincent van Gogh has become somewhat of a rockstar of the art world. Iterations of the impressionist's works can be found in museums, on mouse pads, and everywhere in between. The man himself has become the poster child for the troubled genius archetype.
The legend of van Gogh has even been adapted into a full-length movie animated entirely using stills painted in his signature style.
'Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience' has been touring the country since 2017, and boasts over 5 million visitors since its opening, inviting guests to "step into a painting" and to experience the story of Vincent van Gogh like never before.
The traveling exhibit will be in Central Arkansas for at least six months.
