A new immersive art experience has officially opened its doors in Toronto. Joining the ranks of Immersive Van Gogh and Beyond Monet is Immersive Klimt, a colourful new exhibition curated by the “world-renowned master of digital art” Italy’s Massimiliano Siccardi.
Through vivid 360 projections, the revolutionary works of Gustav Klimt come to life all around you. Klimt is described as a “rebel, genius and legend” of a painter, and now you can be swept up in his electrifying world.
“From the streets of Imperial Vienna to the natural world of water lilies, vibrant blooms and mermaids, to his acclaimed Golden Phase, lose yourself in the vivid imagery and bold colours of Immersive Klimt,” the event’s description says. The art will shift and transform before your eyes along with sounds composed by Luca Longobardi.

Klimt was an Austrian painter who led the Vienna Secession movement from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, according to the Klimt Gallery. His art was mostly inspired by the female body, which is a common theme throughout his work.
Immersive Klimt is now occupying 1 Yonge St, the same space where Immersive Van Gogh took place. It’s the newest venture put on by Lighthouse Immersive, the producers and creators of the Van Gogh exhibit, so you know it’s going to be breathtaking.
The experience features 60,600 frames of video and 500,000 cubic feet of projections. You could truly get lost in this unique world without ever seeing the same thing twice.
