Just when you get used to looking at, say, Van Gogh's"Sunflowers" expanded to mammoth proportions, it shifts and flows and becomes another masterpiece, or several at once. There's a moment of portraits, then everything shifts to still lifes or landscapes. The paintings don't just blink out, though; they flow from one to the next in a way that connects with Van Gogh's original works. All told, about 300 paintings are represented in the show.
Sometimes one painting takes over the whole room. Other times, dozens are represented. Van Gogh's own words, taken from a series of letters to his brother, dominate the room now and then. Innocuous music plays in the background but you can see it on people's faces when they suddenly recognize"Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles or"Vincent " by Don McLean.
And if you're a little overwhelmed by the experience, there are always souvenirs. All visitors exit through the gift shop, which sells mugs, bags, keychains, hats, T-shirts, water bottles, calendars, planters, plush dolls and Van Gogh paint-by-numbers kits. They've also added yoga classes amid the artwork for Saturday mornings at 8:30. Guests must bring their own mats, towels and water.
