An unforgettable multi-sensory experience
Held under the patronage of the UAE Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development, Van Gogh Alive, will be hosted in Dubai Design District (d3) until April 23. The multi-sensory experience, created by Grande Exhibitions, will be one of the highlights of the Dubai Art Season with a unique sensory display of the masterpieces by the Dutch post-modernist painter.Make no mistake – this is no ordinary art exhibition and no ordinary activity in the UAE.
