Where to See Immersive Monet Exhibits in 2022

Immersive Claude Monet Art Exhibits Are Opening in Cities Across the World — Become totally immersed in the world of Claude Monet as you never have before at shows like “Beyond Monet.”

Perhaps most celebrated for his dreamy water lily paintings, Claude Monet was born in Paris to French grocers in 1840 and raised in France’s coastal province of Normandy. After mentoring under Eugène Boudin and dedicating himself to painting the world as he saw it, Monet became the founding father of impressionism—a revolutionary artistic movement that began in the late 1800s that emphasized painting en plein air (aka painting outside) and the use of copious color to convey an artistic scene and capture raw emotion.

Now, art lovers can experience Monet as never before with four different immersive digital art exhibits opening in more than a dozen different cities across the globe this year. While each show is produced by a different company, all of them use full-scale projections to place visitors directly into Monet’s artwork to create the experience of walking among the brushstrokes of pieces like Water Lilies. Find out more about when and where each show is happening and how to snag tickets before they sell out:

1. Beyond Monet

Created jointly by Paquin Entertainment Group and Normal Studio, Beyond Monet features over 400 works by the impressionist master. The exhibition in Miami occupied over 50,000 square feet and was the largest immersive experience of its kind in the country. Guests can expect to see pieces like Poppies, Impression: Sunrise, and Monet’s Water Lilies series. In addition to projections of the artwork, Beyond Monet pairs his painting with music and sound effects to create an experience that promises to “awaken the senses and create a captivating atmosphere.”
