LIVERPOOL'S art fans will have more time to enjoy this summer's:- 'Beyond Van Gogh and Beyond Monet' with the immersive experiences after it was announced that they are extending their run.

The unmissable multimedia attractions were due to visit the:- Exhibition Centre Liverpool, from:- Tuesday, 15 July to Sunday, 3 August 2025.

Produced by Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group:- 'Beyond Van Gogh - The Immersive Experience' brings together more than 300 of the Post Impressionist icon's paintings blended with cutting-edge technology and a specially curated musical soundtrack to tell the story of 1 of history's most influential artists, with people able to wander through iconic works; including:- The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Terrace of a Café at Night; as they come alive around them.

Meanwhile Beyond Monet - The Immersive Experience has been seen by thousands of people at venues across North America, and now it is coming to the UK, following in Beyond Van Gogh's footsteps by being premiered in Liverpool.

In the immersive impressionist extravaganza, cutting-edge technology breathes new life into more than 400 of the legendary French painter's artworks, taking visitors on a spectacular and unforgettable audio-visual journey through his captivating and colourful world.

Anna Parry, UK Business Development at Annerin Productions, said:- "When we premiered Beyond Van Gogh in Liverpool last summer we were overwhelmed with the amazing response from visitors. And it seems city art lovers are just as excited for the return of Van Gogh and the 1st visit of Beyond Monet. So, I’m absolutely delighted we’re able to extend the run of both immersive experiences for an additional 2 weeks. I also want to thank Exhibition Centre Liverpool for its continued enthusiasm and support. We forged a great working relationship with the team there in 2024 and since then the partnership has just got stronger and stronger. They’re brilliant at what they do, and I know this summer is going to be another memorable visit to the beautiful Mersey waterfront."

The Colm Graham, Head of Partnerships, Hospitality and Exhibition Sales at Exhibition Centre Liverpool added:- "Even before opening, the excitement and demand for Beyond Monet and Beyond Van Gogh have exceeded all expectations, We're thrilled the exhibition will be extended to run for an additional two weeks, giving even more people the chance to experience this breathtaking celebration of Van Gogh and Monet’s work. It’s a testament to the appetite for world class cultural experiences here in Liverpool. Working once again with the incredibly talented team at Annerin Productions and Paquin Entertainment Group has been a real pleasure; their creativity and commitment to immersive storytelling is 2nd to none, and we can't wait to welcome visitors through our doors to experience it."
