The world-famous Claude Monet immersive exhibition (Monet – The Immersive Experience), which has already impressed tens of thousands of visitors in countless metropolises, has arrived in Budapest. After New York, Los Angeles and London, a gigantic virtual world evokes the spirit of Monet and his magical impressionist art in the 2,000-square-meter production in the capital.
The creators of the Van Gogh and Dalí exhibitions have brought the Claude Monet immersive exhibition to Hungary, which brings the French painter’s pictures to life with the help of digital and audiovisual elements. Visitors can learn everything about the life, muses, and work of the impressionist genius in an entertaining and educational way.
“We use the most modern technology to help us tell a unique story, and the experience adds a completely new meaning to the concept of a museum. Sound and light show, spectacular 360-degree digital solutions and virtual reality welcome visitors. We are proud of this production, which has provided a lasting experience for connoisseurs and non-professionals, children and adults all over the world,” said Dudi Bercovici, managing director of Hadran Events, organizer of the exhibition.
One of the most spectacular points of the exhibition is the garden bridge that inspired the paintings and an authentic, reconstructed copy of Monet’s room. During the world tour, most of the visitors preferred to take photos with this background. Those interested can get to know the background history of the iconic paintings, as well as try the VR experience and create their own works.
Claude Monet (1840-1926) was one of the greatest painters and a master of impressionism. His lights, colours, affection for nature and his joy of life have a profound effect on the audience of today. “The Impressionist movement started in 1872 with Claude Monet’s masterpiece, Impression of the Rising Sun. The rest is history: the sun-drenched, “en plein air” paintings, i.e. captured under the open sky, proclaiming the beauty of everyday life in the 19th century may be familiar to everyone. They also remind people today to discover magic, because there is plenty of it, we just have to look around,” said art historian Blanka Bán at the opening of the exhibition.
The location of the exhibition is the BOK Sports Hall, which is extremely easy to reach by car and public transport – parking is possible in front of the hall. The exhibition opens on 17 October and is expected to be open to visitors until February.
