This was a unique experience that was rather unexpected. We visited the Van Gogh exhibit. Most visitors were not masked for COVID guidelines and I felt that there were too many people standing too close to observe social distancing. Despite this I came prepared and wore double masks. I'm accustomed to seeing art exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Guggenheim Museum so this exhibition was completely different and unique. It afforded me the opportunity to learn more about the artist without having to read each plaque which can be exhausting. The music along with excerpts from his personal letters gave you unique insight to the artist. However, with that said, this is not type of exhibit that lends itself to sketching from his work because the visual presentation is too fast. I would attend another exhibit from another artist once I plan for another visit. When and if I return to NYC I'll revisit the other traditional museums. Each manner of presentation has it's advantages.

A wonderful exhibit. Take your time. There is a lot to see. This is an exhibit about Da Vinci’s genius. It is not an exhibit of all his works. The guards were wonderful about explaining the exhibit before you see it. It is located on the grounds of the Biltmore estate. There is plenty of parking and a nice gazebo if you are waiting to enter. The entryway has 2 large panels with details about him but you can see any part of the exhibit in any order that you want. There is a large unique 32-minute video presentation inside one large room that is on a continuous loop. It has limited seating and it is presented around the walls, columns, and floors of the room. It is very good because it gives you a very broad idea with pictures and sayings of his works. The other room, across from the video room has several of these exhibits and placards describing each of them. There is a gift shop if you want to pick up souvenirs to remember your visit. I really liked the exhibit and thought it did a good job of showing his genius and broad description of his works. I highly recommend it.

We went to the Leonardo de Vinci exhibit. If you have digital tickets I recommend that you connect to the free WiFi because the phone reception is horrible. It's a wonderful experience and the greeters are fantastic.

The Van Gogh exhibit was amazing! This exhibit was nothing I have seen before. The projections around the room and on the floor showcase various art and movement. The story, as told by Van Gogh's own diary, helped in understanding the emotion behind every brush stroke. The music set the perfect tone of the experience. I do not think I can perfectly state in words how great this exhibit was. There are two more to come, Monet & DaVinci. I can not wait to experience these as well.

Kevin Ballantine

Had a lot of fun visiting. The staff was extremely courteous. Was able to experience the Van Gogh Alive exhibit and it was enlightening and enjoyable. The space for the exhibit was large enough to accommodate all of its guests.

Melissa Previte

Saw the Van Gogh Alive exhibit and it was fantastic! Another great option to add to your Biltmore visit in Asheville! The front room has a timeline if his work and the end has a really neat sunflower room!

Dara Grosso

Went here for the Van Gogh Exhibit. It's on the Biltmore Estate grounds. It was a great exhibit! There's parking right next to it. Also, there's a fire during winter and beverages that you can purchase in the building next to the exhibit.

Nancy Nesbitt

Exquisite! The van Gogh exhibit greatly exceeded my expectations! I can not wait to return for Monet, Renoir, DaVinci and more!

Alan Dennis, Baron of Cowie

The DaVinci experience is excellent. A 35 minutes immersive video with art, drawings and quotes. They let you in 15 minutes prior to the time of your tour

I was at the Biltmore to see the Van Gogh ALive and plan to be there for the next art experiences. The Amherst is a nice comfortable space for events. The event was set up to include a gift shop, gallery of information about Van Gogh and one of his favorite pieces was set up as an echibit. The visual section is spectacular and shows his art work on on huge wall screens and floor screens. It was very nicely done. I was asked if it was better then Immersive Van Gogh. I must say I can't compare. Both were so good. Immersive Van Gogh is very creative, artistic, dramatic and breath taking. Van Gogh Alive has more of an educational quality and allows you to really see and almost experience the art work. You definitely can't go wrong with seeing both.

Rhonda Kincer

When decided to go to the Van Gogh exhibition we didn't ready know what to expect, but we enjoyed show. In some cases, a few painting came to life. Definitely a must see!

John Kurton

The Monet exhibition was awesome! Well worth a visit if you are in the area but book early to ensure that you can get in.

Jeff Perkins

They had the Davinci in motion display going. Well with the trip, and very informative.

Jeffrey Hatcher

Great Leonardo da Vinci exhibit. Quite informative.

Lisa Taillon

The Leonardo DaVinci experience was amazing and enlightening! Highly recommend.

Robin Broome

Enjoyed the da Vinci exhibition. Very well done! They do a nice job of assigning people to entry times so there is a smooth flow of people moving through the building to view all the exhibits. Wide variety of beautiful exhibit-related gifts in the gift store.

Paul Brosch

A must to do!! Such a great experience to learn about such a remarkable human.

Laura Adams

The Downton Abbey exhibit will be leaving soon. It was really well done, informative and fun to see!

Jennifer

The Van Gogh Experience was amazing! I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process. Vincent Willem van Gogh

Annettee

Loved the Monet and Friends experience. It was delightful and I learned a lot about Impressionist artists. Truly something you have to experience to understand.

Mary Lynn McKenzie

Great exhibit!!! Learned a lot and enjoyed it. Not enough seats, be prepared to sit on the floor.

Lois Petersen

Great event space with plenty of parking & much more accessible than most things to do on Biltmore Estate. Saw the Monet & Friends art experience & really enjoyed it.

Amelia Johnson

Great exhibit hall! Viewed Van Gogh Alive

Catherine Tupper

Fantastic venue for Van Gogh exhibit. Will be back for Monet in the Springtime.

Jeff Henriquez

It's a modern, small space with a bit of an awkward layout. I was there for the Devinci exhibit and the whole thing could have been in the main room

Jody Carreiro

DaVInci exhibit that was part of Biltmore ticket package, but a worthwhile part of the visit. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Mike “Ornery”

Visited the da Vinci experience. While I appreciated the immersive video experience, I prefer more physical artwork

Sarolta Fazio

The Van Gogh and Monet exhibits were amazing. How to paintings and do music were so well synced . But my favorite part was how enlarged the paintings are, so you can see clearly. The artists brush strokes and various different colors they used within one brush. Stroke. Blew my mind away.

linda martin

Van Gogh alive at Biltmore estate, learned a lot, and enjoyed artwork and music !

Nick de Silvia

VanGogh interactive is a fun way to being his art alive and tell a story of his life and work.

Camil Reyes

Such a fantastic experience! Even my 5-year-old was completely captivated by the exhibit.

Marisa Asturias

Van Gogh! Excellent immersive experience!

Tina Warren

I have now seen DaVinci and VanGogh here, both beautifully put together, informative and captivating

Jeff Colvin

Nice addition if a bit touristy (gotta pay the big house bills). Fans geeked on Downton Abbey clothes

Alberto fry

Going to the exhibit to see the van Gogh was the best thing I've seen in a long time. It was beautiful the colors the way they did it it was amazing cannot be any better than it was. And being disabled in a wheelchair was really easy to get around and people were very polite and nice thank you.♿🤗😇 …

Had a wonderful time at the Van Gogh Alive exhibit. I had wanted to see it for months and was lucky enough to find a reservation on relatively short notice. The exhibit was in a 42 min loop so if you want to view the story again and again, it's allowed and we did. It follows Van Gogh through 7, I believe, significant periods of his life, through age 30.

Lisa Rozier

Beautiful DaVinci exhibit

Jamie Harrington

Great venue for the Van Gogh Alive Exhibit - fantastic way of bringing the works & words of my favorite artist!!

Rebecca Stratton

We've seen this Van Gogh exhibit twice now at this location. Was so touchingly beautiful. The second time was even better if that's possible. Husband and I love this venue. Worth the ticket price.

Malcolm Diaz

This place is magical. The history of the place is outstanding. This is simply a must visit.

Archer Pippin

Part of the Van Gogh exhibition. Great program. Thought they took some unnecessary liberties with the animation but that's a minor point on an amazing display of a phenomenal artist. Definitely worth seeing.

Mike Criss

Wonderful experience at the Monet and Friends Immersion. I will be looking for similar exhibits because of this experience. Very unique and a great way to enjoy art.

Caroline Taylor

Absolutely gorgeous property. The Van Gogh experience was stunning.

Megan Soltesz

We saw the Money art installation, and it was very well done. The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes. There was also a small exhibit showcasing the artists and their lives in the beginning.

Birman Brothers

Over priced exhibition. I have been to Italy and seen the real pieces in Naples.

Jeff Soots

Van Gogh immersive experience was very impressive with a 50 min experience that walked you thought the life of Van Gogh and the struggles he had. Of course everything at the Biltmore was nice, however be mindful you will need a season pass or grounds ticket to get to Deer park to see Van Gogh. Next month is the Monet immersive experience which has very limited locations that it will be on display

Ricky C

Organized and detailed display of Leonardo Da Vinci. The video played in the projector was interesting as it completely surrounded every edge of the room, including the ceiling and floor. The video played was a quick and fun look at his work and many quotes made by him.
