Art fans are invited to step into Vincent Van Gogh's most famous paintings, at an immersive exhibition coming to London from 7 February.

Meet Vincent Van Gogh is an interactive funhouse dedicated to the Dutch painter, in which you can pull up a seat at the Potato Eaters' table, and snap yourself perched on Van Gogh's bed, from his iconic Bedroom in Arles.

Elsewhere in the experience — which is created by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, and has already visited Barcelona and Seoul — you can study the artist's techniques, materials and tools; and even create your own self portrait in a Van Gogh style. The audioguide leading you around is narrated by 'Van Gogh'.

There's a real thirst for Van Gogh in London right now — this exhibition coming hot off the heels of Tate's 2019 Van Gogh blockbuster, and the opening of the house where he once lived.
