Nu Reality: The Living Room

Step Inside Art with VR

What if you could do more than just look at a work of art. What if you could move through it? The Living Gallery, a VR program by Nu:Reality, invites you to experience art in a fully immersive way.

With a VR headset, you quite literally step inside paintings and journey through the imagination of artists such as Caravaggio, Edvard Munch, and Henri Matisse. Worlds unfold around you and respond to your presence, as color, movement, and emotion become almost tangible.

Alongside these artistic journeys, the program also demonstrates how VR can tell intimate, human stories, adding a new dimension to the way we experience both art and one another.

The VR program will be on view from April 30 through June 24, 2026, at seven locations across the Netherlands.

Creation of the Worlds (30 mins)

An immersive VR journey into the visionary universe of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, Creation of the Worlds invites viewers to step inside his paintings and become part of their unfolding.

Moving through cycles such as Creation, The City, and The Deluge, the experience blends art, music, and myth into a poetic exploration of creation, destruction, and rebirth where the viewer becomes both witness and co-creator of evolving worlds.

Caravaggio, In Tenebris (9 mins)

The experience is an imaginary journey through a maze of narrow streets – an intimate labyrinth leading from the gilded splendor of a Roman palace to the dark backstreets where Caravaggio sought adventure and ultimately met his downfall. Along this nocturnal walk, we encounter his paintings as his life unfolds in vivid, striking close-ups.
