MYRTLE BEACH — Then with heavy strokes, he created movement in the sky, streets and fields.

Beginning June 21, visitors can move through some 300 works in ”Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience” at Myrtle Beach’s Broadway at the Beach.

Post-impressionist Van Gogh, the Dutch painter, is known for Starry Night, Almond Blossoms, Cafe’ Terrace at Night, Wheatfield with Crows, Irises and several self-portraits all painted in the late 1800s.

The immersive show is a projection of some of Van Gogh’s work on walls, floors and ceilings, allowing the public to linger through and with the strokes.

The show, which continues through Sept. 22, also includes an education room with letters written to Van Gogh’s brother Theo.

The show has been in more than 60 markets, including Charleston, since it began in 2017.
