Impressive Monet & Brilliant Klimt

The exhibition at Immersivus Gallery brings the famous paintings of Monet and Klimt to life. These renowned artworks have “broken free” from their frames, with specially created effects and animations that immerse visitors in an innovative artistic experience.

Covering a vast 2,000 square meters of 360-degree projection space, this exhibition allows you to step into the imagination of the artists. You’ll be surrounded by the impressionist movement of Claude Monet and the intimate, romantic art of Gustav Klimt, featuring his iconic painting “The Kiss.”

Please note that this exhibition is not recommended for individuals with epilepsy.
