Beyond Monet and Beyond Van Gogh come to the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham from Saturday, 18 July to Sunday, 9 August.
Final preparations are taking place for the spectacular shows, which will be staged on different days during the three-week run, which has been extended due to overwhelming demand.
Tickets are on sale, priced from £14.
Timed-entry tickets feature a range of additional entry options, including special family tickets, which offer great savings compared with individual prices.
Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience and Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience are produced by Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group. Seven million people worldwide have enjoyed the immersive experiences so far, including more than 250,000 in the UK since Annerin Productions premiered Beyond Van Gogh in Liverpool in 2024.
Over the past two years, tens of thousands of visitors from Aberdeen to Exeter have been captivated by the stunning shows.
This year marks the centenary of the death of Claude Monet, hailed as the ‘Father of Impressionism’, who passed away at his beloved home in the Normandy village of Giverny on 5 December 1926 at the age of 86.
Beyond Monet: The Immersive Experience – the only show of its kind currently in the UK dedicated to the artist – celebrates his groundbreaking work in bewitching style, with cutting-edge technology breathing new life into more than 400 of the legendary French painter’s canvases, taking visitors on a spectacular and unforgettable audiovisual journey through his captivating and colourful world.
Beyond Monet brings together some of the artist’s most famous paintings, including Poppies, Impression: Sunrise and his exquisite Water Lilies series, with lesser-known works, all of which swirl around the space, offering a fresh and exciting new look at much-loved masterpieces and a deeper connection with Monet, his subjects and his innovative technique.
Taking inspiration from the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, the designated home of Monet’s works, visitors can freely roam the Infinity Room, where they are transported inside the paintings themselves to the accompaniment of a moving original score.
Meanwhile, Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience brings together more than 300 of the post-Impressionist icon’s paintings, blended with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack, to tell the story of one of history’s most influential artists, with visitors able to wander through iconic works, including The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Terrace of a Café at Night, as they come alive around them.
Alongside the main immersive gallery, visitors at both exhibitions will exit through a beautifully designed reflection space.
The Nottingham residency also includes a limited number of special yoga sessions held amid the artwork, offering visitors a truly unique experience.
Annerin needs the UK’s biggest exhibition halls to stage its experiences, with the main immersive room measuring 10,000 sq ft.
The visit of Beyond Monet and Beyond Van Gogh will be the longest-running event ever staged at the Lace Market venue.
Anna Parry, UK Business Development at Annerin Productions, said today: “Opening week is finally here, and last-minute preparations are taking place inside Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, where we’ve had fantastic support from the whole team.
“There’s been huge demand for tickets, and I can’t wait to see the reaction as our first Nottingham visitors enter the stunning immersive worlds of Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet. With schools about to break up for the summer, both experiences are an ideal way to spend quality family time together, creating some very special memories.”
