    Beautiful experience! The music that was used and the way the lights were portrayed was really amazing. It may not be the first thing you think of visiting when you're in Porto, but if you have the time, I definitely recommend going!

    Had a ton of fun at this exhibition. Very unique perspective on Van Gogh's art animated. Walking around and the music provided a great blend of immersiveness. This was combined with a educational gallery on the second floor afterwards which was quite unique.
