Immersive Claude Monet exhibit planned for NYC this fall
Acres of water lilies will bloom on Wall Street this fall, at least digitally
NEW YORK (AP) — Acres of water lilies will bloom on Wall Street this fall, at least digitally.
A massive, immersive exhibition celebrating French artist Claude Monet will make its U.S. debut in downtown New York starting in November, promising a multisensory experience that puts visitors as close to inside his iconic flower paintings as possible.
“Monet’s Garden: The Immersive Experience” will splash the Impressionist pioneer's paintings across walls and floors of a spacious, one-time bank building and boost the effect by adding scents, music and narration in multiple language.
“To be able to address more than just two senses I think will immerse people a bit more,” said Dr. Nepomuk Schessl, producer of the exhibition. “We certainly hope it’s going to be the next big thing.”
