If you’re an art aficionado — or just like us, simply looking for the next happening in Richmond — prepare to be swept away to Claude Monet’s Giverny gardens. Monet: The Immersive Experience is in the city for a limited time, breathing new life into Monet’s pieces and unveiling the source of his inspiration.
Through a walk-through exhibit, a 360-degree projection room, a VR segment and more, the Monet Experience hangs onto the summer a while longer; the breathtaking flowers and growing ferns that populate the impressionist’s paintings bloom before our very eyes during a state-of-the-art spectacle where every brushstroke and detail comes to life.

A journey through Monet’s life and inspiration
While you’re no stranger to Monet’s work, do you know the artist’s life story? Monet: The Immersive Experience takes us through the painter’s life and what drove his creativity. Visitors will go through staged art installations like the iconic Giverny bridge and Monet’s studio, where he painted and stored many of the pieces we know today.
And after taking in all the wisteria, attendees are invited to take part in a sensorial experience at the Projection Room. Using the latest technology, the exhibit splashes Monet’s art on the walls of the venue. It’s a true 360-degree canvas where the impressionist’s paintings are magnified.
The exhibit ends on an interactive note, with a VR journey where you’ll walk through Monet’s inspiration and a sketching portion that unleashes your inner artist! Monet: The Immersive Experience celebrates the mogul’s lasting influence on the art world, and people around the globe.
It’s an internationally-acclaimed exhibit
While the Monet Experience landed in Richmond this fall, the exhibit has already charmed millions of visitors in cities like LA, DC, across the pond in London and even our very own city in years prior. Everywhere it’s been, visitors have raved about the multi-sensory adventure:
