Mark Monahan, govt director of Competition Home Inc, says Van Gogh 360° has been showcased in lots of cities of Canada, together with its capital, Ottawa, earlier than India. “We saw the exhibit in Europe and in cities across North America, including New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Toronto, and reached out to a Toronto-based company that specialises in video content to envision the sequencing and interpret Gogh’s art — using a mix of well-known and lesser-known pieces spanning Gogh’s entire body of work — all set to an original soundtrack,” he says.

The giant projections highlight brushstroke, detail, and colour.”
