Seattle's immersive Van Gogh exhibit has opened on Occidental Avenue in SODO.

A highlight of the show is an 8,000-square-foot room with 360-degree views and two-story projections of various Van Gogh artworks, paintings and sketches.

From Starry Night to sunflowers, visitors can watch as the visuals continually change on the walls around them, set to a soundtrack.

The exhibit also includes a space for visitors to create Van Gogh inspired artwork, a large-scale bust of the artist made of foam, and a virtual reality interactive for an additional fee.
