Monet’s immersive exhibition at the Boiler House in Shoreditch, was the most impressive show I have seen in a long time! The show takes you on a vitual life journey of the artist and when you think it can’t get better, the last thing you’ll experience is a virtual reality immersion into the paintings. Unbelievable!! Really something to see!
Great venue in a buzzing area of london.
Easily reached via tube, bus or taxi.
We went to the Dali exhibition. Well presented in a large space to get lost in the projected art of a master. Educational as well as inspiring. An exceptional virtual reality experience included but don't forget to use your hands to touch what's not there and look all around.
Wonderful experience and highly recommended. The exhibition starts gently with display boards explaining Monet's life, approach to painting and his key influences. It then moves to a large room in which you sit in deckchairs or stand to experience a 360 degree sensory experience. Stay as long as you want but allow at least 20 minutes to take it in. Finally I strongly recommend the £3 supplement to experience a 10 minute VR headset - sensational
Minor comment is that whilst this exhibition is for all ages the deckchairs or standing are not ideal options for those with conditions such as arthritis. A couple of beanbags or stools were available but proper chairs would be a welcome addition
We visited Monet immersive experience. And adults and children loved it. The place around is very artistic and multicultural.
Wonderful monet immersive exhibition. Stayed couple hours enjoyed the music and the exhibition. Lovely to just sit and enjoy
We saw the Dali Immersive Experience, it really was amazing, we were quite overwhelmed. I would advise not going if you're really tired and hungover, but hey ho...the tickets were booked! The whole exhibition really was stunning, from the detailed history at the beginning, then the immersive room, including a 3D section, then the VR section at the end. It is all quite astonishing, educational, and enlightening. All this without a single piece of Dali's actual original artwork, it's quite phenomenal and good value for money. 2 hours very well spent, highly recommend.
As an event hall The Boiler House is a great place to exhibit art.
The place is a lovely size, not too big and you dont feel like your in maze.
I felt it was easy to get around the place and viewing the art and artists information was very reasonable.
I love the hall where you can sit down and watch the images of Dali's art work, that was incredible!! This was the bit I couldn't wait to see. The 3D effect was brilliant too.
Right before the exhibition shop, you had a chance to view Dali's work though a virtual reality headset, oh wow, it was amazing. I just wish I had longer time to see it.
My only criticism is when looking for the exhibition, I feel you need more signs, i went straight passed the place.
The fact that it's around the back of a building doesnt help, so maybe a few more signs would be helpful.
I loved it and i would come back again or go and see another artist’s immersive exhibition
Visiting the Dali immersive experience in the Boiler House was great. Some fantastic detail about Dali & his forward thinking within his art. Supported by some amazing graphics & a VR experience to blow your mind! A fantastic must see visit.
All in all the exhibition is excellent. The best part was the VR experience that really blows my mind I think depends of individual experience, I do feel a little dizzy in the VR world, and the gadget feels a little heavy after a while. We had a really relaxing time in the section where the art works have been projected onto the wall and floor, there are beach chairs and beanie bags to sit in, and the sound is amazing.
Really enjoyed the Dali experience, two highlights, 3d experience of paintings, also Virtual Reality was great, one downside we visited on 18 January 2023 and it was really cold inside, no heating whatsoever so if you visit when it's cold...wrap up
Went and saw the Dali immersive exhibition a few weeks back after a bit of a bum deal getting the car smashed up the evening before and a load of stuff robbed. The building is cold so you'd be better to go on a warm day really. Not when its brassica outside. The exhibition gets better as you work through it for sure - starts a bit rough with a board explaining the artist and then some pretty low quality prints of his work, and then some old video of him. You get some time in a room thats quite cool projecting his work in video format onto all the walls and pillars. Theres deckchairs and bena bags to sit in. Thats a good half an hour with some old school red/green 3D glasses at the end. Then the grand finale is a fun bit of VR head settery, Youre on a 10 min timer, which is as well because if you werent itd get quite busy in there.
Just wow! Go and see the dali exhibition or you'll really be missing out. I learned so much about an artist I thought I knew! And the large scale video exhibition was mesmerising paired with an incredible VR experience. Wow !
I went to The Boiler House to see Dali: Cybernetics - The immersive experience. The digital show was so good. Although I didn't like some part of the music inside the show, it was still good.
However, the immersive VR experience was mind-blowing. I love it. It was an absolute metaverse with Dali's paintings figures. I still have goosebumps because his long leg elephants were literally walking in front of me, a big lobster was jumping onto me... the desert, the sky, the sun with Dali's narratives and colours... That was well worth paying money and spent the day there.
Beautiful relaxing experience. Painting cane to life.
A really interesting experience and well laid out. It is worth doing the virtual reality experience.
.Monet exhibition was very good and we enjoyed it. However it would have been helpful to have some signage outside on the road ,we walked past the building a few times ! We were not alone as we met a few people looking at their phones and not finding the entrance !
we are freshly back from the most enjoyable monet presentation at the boiler house london. As with all the other experiences with well known artists this a really enjoyable experience. Especially the bridge exhibit, drawing with monet , relaxing with the paintings and music , and concluding with a wonderful vdu experience .
do go when you can . its well worth a visit. The delightful young folk who were there to guide were an added bonus thanks all for a lovely 2 hours again... we look forward to the next one..) mary w.
