The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience set to arrive in Bengaluru by June end
Even the most art-impaired among us have marvelled at those stars swirling in a blue, blue sky or that splendid clatch of sunflowers. That is how impactful the works of Vincent Van Gogh, a Dutch Post-Impressionist artist, remain more than than a century after his passing. Presented by The Silly Fellows, The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience brings the works of Van Gogh in a whole new immersive format. The show is India's first 22,000 lumen projection, a far cry from the 6,000 lumen offering of similar shows in the past, and has been crafted in collaboration with musicans Nikhil Chinapa and Jay Punjabi. Making its debut in Bengaluru after shows in Chennai, Hyderabad and Chandigarh, this immersive experience features as many as 70 of Van Gogh's most famous works, carefully selected from over 2,100 masterpieces he left behind for posterity. The experience begins with a walk through the Education Room which provides visitors information on the artist, followed by a stint in the Infinity Room, and finally, the Immersive Room where the magic with projections and sensory elements unfolds. The paintings for The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience were curated and animated by visual artists Hemali Vadalia and Naveen Boktapa of Motionvan Studios. A cafe and store with related merchandise will also be on the premises. The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience will be at the Bhartiya Mall Of Bengaluru from June 29. Tickets, starting at ₹499 for children and ₹899 onwards for adults, are available on District.

Tourist sits on art work, breaks Swarovski crystal-covered ‘Van Gogh' chair in Italian museum. Watch
A tourist couple is under fire after they caused significant damage to a valuable art piece at the Palazzo Maffei Museum in Verona, Italy. According to a statement released on the museum's Facebook page, two visitors were admiring the 'Van Gogh' chair by Italian artist Nicola Bolla, a striking artwork inspired by Vincent van Gogh's iconic 1888 paintings and adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals. The incident unfolded when a museum guard stepped out of the room, and the couple began clicking photos near the chair. Viral CCTV footage shows the woman first pretending to sit on the chair for a photo. Moments later, the man tries to imitate her, but instead of just posing, he sits on the artwork, making it collapse immediately. As the video progresses, the woman then rushes to help him to his feet, and the two quickly exit the room before the museum staffer returns. Watch here: Tourist caught-on-camera smashing Nicola Bolla's 'Van Gogh' chair, a very delicate work, entirely covered in hundreds of Swarovski crystals — non aesthetic things (@PicturesFoIder) June 16, 2025 The video prompted a wave of reactions. A user said: 'Fire the curator of the exhibit immediately. Absolutely no protection for art like this is unacceptable. It is a CHAIR in an open room, and you didn't expect a SINGLE, not one person, to attempt to sit on it.' Another user commented, 'This is why they have to put museum relics behind cages now. Because these idiots exist.' According to People magazine, the museum condemned the couple's behaviour, calling them irresponsible. 'They ignored every rule of respect for art and cultural heritage,' the museum wrote on Facebook. The museum also confirmed that the artwork had since been successfully repaired. 'For days we didn't know if it would be possible to restore it. But we did it. A heartfelt thanks goes to the police, our security department, and the restorers, whose precious work allowed the work to be recovered,' the statement read. The museum also expressed gratitude to the majority of its visitors, who treat art with respect, 'And a special thanks to all of you who walk through the museum's halls every day with care, attention, and wonder. Because art is not just to be seen. It is to be loved. It is to be protected.'
