Vincent van Gogh – Longing
A journey through the world of an artist who found beauty in simplicity.
Immerse yourself in the fascinating life and work of one of the world’s most important artists: Vincent van Gogh. Experience the unique combination of a classic exhibition and an impressive immersive show at Visiodrom in the industrial monument Gaskessel Wuppertal.
Today, Van Gogh is one of the most famous painters of all time, but he was denied fame and recognition during his lifetime. His life was marked by a tireless desire to be recognized as an artist. In just ten years, he created over 864 paintings and more than 1000 drawings, including masterpieces such as “Starry Night”, “The Sunflowers” and “The Potato Eaters”. It was only after his death, thanks to the tireless efforts of his brother Theo’s wife, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, that his works received the attention they deserved.

Please dress warmly!
Here you can experience all seasons and their temperatures up close.
Please bear in mind that the huge experience room, the Visiodrom, with a volume of 51,000 m³, is not heated for ecological reasons alone.
The inside temperature in the Gaskessel is therefore the same as the outside temperature.
For a pleasant stay, especially during the immersive projection show where you are seated, we recommend very warm clothing, hats, gloves and thick shoes in cold temperatures.
Combined ticket with the Von der Heydt Museum
Art in a double pack: discover our immersive show "Leonardo Da Vinci - Uomo Universale" and the captivating exhibition "Lucio Fontana: Expectation" at the Von der Heydt Museum with the new combined ticket for just 22 euros.

The tickets are valid without a fixed date and can be redeemed at any time during opening hours. Simply buy them online and print them out at home!
Leonardo da Vinci now also in Hamburg
From Wuppertal to Zurich to Hamburg: the success of Leonardo da Vinci - Uomo Universale knows no bounds. After the concept has already taken Switzerland by storm, visitors to the city on the Elbe can now also look forward to the exciting mix of exhibition and immersive projection show.
The twenty-minute show will also be brought to life in Hamburg using state-of-the-art technology - albeit in an adapted setting to suit the local conditions at the Gaußhöfe venue. The show runs in Hamburg from September 17 to December 26.
