Can you imagine getting into 'The Starry Night'?
After visiting more than 30 cities –such as Berlin, Bogotá, Budapest, Krakow, Istanbul, Florence, Lisbon, Milan, Moscow, Beijing, Phoenix, Rome, Santiago de Chile, Shanghai, Singapore, Saint-Petersburg, Tel-Aviv or Warsaw– ** Van Gogh Alive arrived in Seville last February with a clear objective: not to leave anyone indifferent. And indeed, it was.**
Now, the most visited multi-sensory exhibition in the world comes to Circle of Fine Arts from Madrid to follow breaking with the traditional concept of museum and make us experience art in a completely new and different way.
"We have chosen the Círculo de Bellas Artes for its strong position as nerve center of culture in Madrid, for his impeccable artistic career and his strong links with all art lovers", explains Elena Goroskova, director of Van Gogh Alive in Spain to Traveler.es

"It's a risky proposition, presenting a multimedia exhibition in the room where Picasso worked, but we believe that there is no better place in the capital to celebrate the exhibition in style", continues Elena.
The exhibition will be installed in a space of 800 square meters with a height of 10 meters that will allow an even more spectacular assembly: "we are going to cover the walls from floor to ceiling to achieve the unprecedented immersive experience" Elena tells us.
In addition, the Dance room It is the most beautiful space we have seen so far and we want to turn it for two months into a virtual temple of Van Gogh", she concludes it.

"In the first week of ticket sales for the Madrid exhibition, more than 10% of all available seats have already been sold, so it is most likely that when the opening date arrives, tickets will no longer be available", warns Elena.
Van Gogh Alive will arrive in the capital next December 26 and will last until February 26, 2019 and you can buy tickets here.
"We hope to be able to reach the hearts of the people of Madrid and, of course… come back!" Elena exclaims.
