What to know about 'Beyond Van Gogh' in Jacksonville before it (finally) goes

After eight months, "Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience" show is ending its run in Jacksonville. The show that allows you to walk through Vincent Van Gogh's masterpieces is set to close April 30, making way for a new show to open in June.

Here's what you should know about the show.

How long will the Van Gogh show be in Jacksonville?

After opening in Jacksonville in September for a two-month run, the touring show was extended first to Nov. 26, then to Feb. 26, to April 16 and now to April 30. Jacksonville evidently loves this show, because this is the fourth time it's been extended. Since its opening Sept. 6 in a former First Baptist Church building in downtown Jacksonville, more than 130,000 tickets have been sold for the show, event organizers said.

Is 'Beyond Van Gogh' worth it? What makes it so special?

The show is a real eye-popper. Overhead projectors run a 37-minute loop of Van Gogh's greatest works, projecting them onto the walls, the floors and the people walking through the huge room. The windmills in his landscapes slowly turn. Birds fly through the background of pastoral scenes. The portraits blink. "The Starry Night" flows and flashes and explodes across the walls and floor. Even if you don't need to know a thing about Van Gogh going in, you'll be a fan by the time you're done.

Where is the Van Gogh exhibit in Jacksonville?

"Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience" is at the NoCo Center, 712 N. Hogan St., a former First Baptist Church building in downtown Jacksonville.

When is 'Beyond Van Gogh' open?

The show is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. It is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

How much are tickets for the show?

Tickets are available for reserved timeslots online at vangoghjacksonville.com. They're priced at $39.99-$59.99 for adults and $23.99-$28.99 for kids; children ages 4 and younger are admitted for free.

It's probably not the last immersive show

A partnership between Corner Lot Development and JWB Real Estate Capital purchased the building at Hogan and Beaver streets for $8.55 million last June before gutting it and turning it into a regional event space called the NoCo Center. When the Van Gogh show opened, organizers said they had their eyes on other immersive shows that could play in the space. Touring shows featuring the works of artists such as Salvador Dali, Leonardo da Vinci and Claude Monet are out there, as is one featuring Marvel Universe heroes.

It's not the only show in town

There's art all over the Jacksonville area. The city's two largest art museums have shows of their own that are worth seeing. The Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville is showing "Don't Blame it on Zen: The Way of John Cage & Friends," "Brennan Wojtyla: Cathedral of Labor," "Shervone Neckles: Bless This House" and "Milagros: Flutter Zone." At the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens, you can catch "Rockwell Kent: The Shakespeare Portfolios," "James McBey: Etchings" and "Jacksonville's Norman Studios." The Cummer opens a new show, "Anila Quayyum Agha: Flight Patterns," on Feb. 24.
