(Hi)story of a Painting: Virtual Reality experience

Discover two very different artists, and their journeys against the odds.

Immerse yourself in Artemisia Gentileschi’s Self Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandriaand discover the extraordinary resilience and brilliance of one of the Baroque era’s most celebrated female artists, in a male-dominated world.

Next step into the vibrant world of Georges Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and discover his journey from underdog to icon.

 Whether you’re a seasoned art historian or simply curious, this is a unique opportunity to experience masterpieces in a whole new dimension. 

These 14-minute VR experiences are created by Gaëlle Mourre and Quentin Darras, blending art history with compelling storytelling, revealing the human journeys behind the canvas

You may book one or both of the VR experiences from 1-2pm on the 17th, 18th or 19th of September. Meet at reception at 70 Cowcross. Headsets provided.
