In the last two months, Michelle McCormack says she has heard the same story at least a hundred times.
An eager Boston resident will seek out one of two immersive Vincent Van Gogh exhibits slated to open in the city later this year. The shows have similar offerings and overlapping schedules. But only one has announced an actual venue, at least for now.

After a year of pandemic-influenced living, Bostonians are beginning to make plans to socialize in the not-so-distant future.
Back in March, the perfect opportunity to make post-vaccine plans arrived when tickets went on sale for “Imagine Van Gogh,” a visually stunning exhibit that arrives at the SoWa Power Station in December.
In the rush to secure tickets, some people didn’t notice that there were actually
two nearly identical events dedicated to the late Dutch painter. Along with “Imagine Van Gogh,” there is “Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience,” another traveling exhibit promising dazzling projections of the artist’s works that has been advertised on social media.
Boston Museum Welcoming Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit
Want to literally surround yourself in Van Gogh artwork? Now you don t have to be a multi-millionaire to do it.
Imagine Van Gogh in a unique new way to experience the amazing artwork of one the best-known artists ever.
The immersive art exhibition takes over 200 of the Dutch artist s famous paintings and expands them onto wall-sized screens to allow visitors to literally walk in and through Van Gogh s art.
I love this concept completely and have already nabbed my tickets – which, yes, are already on sale.
And it s not just coming to a museum, it s going to take over the iconic SoWa Power Station in Boston next winter.
