Step inside Van Gogh paintings at art experience less than an hour from Liverpool

The Van Gogh Alive experience has extended its run at MediaCity for another month until February 27 2022.

Proving extremely popular with more than 120,000 visitors as well as a number of celebrity names including Gary Neville, the exhibition is less than an hour's drive from Liverpool.

Visitors will get a final chance to see the iconic ‘Sunflower Selfie room’ as well as a life-sized version walk-in of Van Gogh’s ‘Bedroom in Aries’ painting.

Instead of a standard traditional museum, the experience allows visitors to experience the art with sound and moving images.

The mirrored immersive sunflower room is perfect for a selfie, with hundreds of sunflowers to recreate the iconic Sunflower series of paintings.

With informative video tutorials, you’ll get hands-on experience in drawing, perspective and composition.
