Monet & Friends: Bringing art to life
Fun cultural experiences have been thin on the ground these past 12 months, understandably. But one event that has attracted hundreds of thousands of art lovers as it travels around the world is Van Gogh Alive, the unforgettable multi-sensory experience that enlivened the Dutch artist’s works for its audience.

Now, Grande Experiences is presenting Monet & Friends – Life, Light & Colour to art-loving audiences. The digital spectacular features Monet, as well as his contemporaries from the Impressionist era, realistically portraying the sights and sounds of 19th century Europe.

The Impressionists’ depictions of modernity and movement, light and shadow have been admired and emulated by generations. Now, two centuries later, the Grande Experiences creative team and SENSORY4™ immersive technology have elevated their work through an incredible application of light that even the artists themselves could not have envisaged.

With Monet & Friends, traditions of tiptoeing through silent galleries and viewing paintings from afar in quiet contemplation are forgotten as visitors find themselves captivated and interacting with art in ways they never imagined.

Breathtaking works of art are projected on an enormous scale, illuminating the bold brushstrokes of Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas and many more. In a rich, dynamic display of light, colour, sound and fragrance, the masterpieces of the Impressionists are imbued with life.

This enchanting, super-scale show allows you to indulge your senses, viewing artworks from new angles and discover unique perspectives. Visitors also have the chance to examine the Impressionists’ sources of inspiration through photographs and video displayed alongside the works.
