The World Around Us

A more classical rendition of ‘Beyond Reality’, ‘The World Around Us’ uses six-sided projection to bring famous landscapes to life, from cityscapes to seascapes. The sound effects are much louder in here, focussing more on the sound of the painting than music, and truly immersing you in the scene surrounding you on the gallery’s long four walls.

Be swept away by Rembrant’s ‘The Storm on the Sea of Galilee’, accompanied by dramatic storm sounds and dark clouds pulling in overhead. In Canaletto’s ‘Piazza Di San Marco’, in particular, with the pavement slowly moving under your feet, pulling you from one side of the Piazza to the other – you’ll swear you’re in Venice.
