LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! IT'S A BIRD . . . IT'S A PLANE!

Well, it sure ain't Superman. This is part of the general scene in the Beyond Van Gogh show that the family visited over the weekend. You may feel that you are walking within the scenes he painted, unless, of course they were showing his portraits at the moment.

I think people enjoyed it but we were a bit disappointed. This is much inferior to the originator of the idea, the Atlier des Lumieres, https://www.atelier-lumieres.com/en/, in Paris. A look at their website will show you why, although you get a reduced experience without the sweeping, perfectly coordinated classical music. (I remember hearing an orchestral selection from Parsifal when we saw a Klimpt show there.) The music here was soothing string orchestra elevator music, although I noticed that at one point they were playing Simon & Garfunkel's All Off To Look For America. In a show about a Dutch painter, working in the south of France.

Very colourful.

I talked with a technician working the show here. He said he needed to get out of the building every once in awhile because hearing the same music hourly was a bit much after awhile.
