(SPOT.ph) 2023 is shaping up to be the year for art aficionados everywhere. Museums and galleries are reopening full-time post-pandemic; and interesting shows like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition and the Wisdom of Da Vinci AI Immersive are creating new art experiences. But if you think, that's all we're getting this year, you're wrong. Art buffs, hold on to your seats and ready your wallets because BGC Arts Center has officially announced the return of  Van Gogh Alive this October.

Here's what we know about Van Gogh Alive's Manila Comeback:

Van Gogh Alive is dubbed the "world’s most visited multi-sensory exhibition experience." It takes more than 3000 Vincent Van Gogh art pieces, scales them massively, and then projects them onto the exhibition space's walls, screens, columns, floors, and ceilings. These larger-than-life images also change or switch places as synchronized with a classical score.

So, you can just imagine our excitement when BGC Arts Center officially confirmed the return of the traveling exhibit over the weekend.
