Extensive art collections and a grand home recognized as an architectural marvel illustrate George Vanderbilt’s renowned appreciation for fine art and design innovation.
A tribute to these lifelong interests, Legends of Art & Innovation is a compelling exhibition series that invites you to experience masterpieces of art and design in an entirely new way.
Created and produced by Grand Experiences using the very latest in immersive technology, each of these four large-scale, multi-sensory events illuminate the remarkable lives of true visionaries—Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, to name but a few—and their timeless masterpieces of art and design.

Grande Experiences’ New Multi-Sensory Experience: Italian Renaissance Alive
Inventor, artist, scientist, engineer, sculptor, anatomist, musician, architect, philosopher—this genius was all of these things. His brilliance and extraordinary achievements are brought to vivid life in this thrilling da Vinci experience.
Accompanied by an exhilarating operatic score, this spellbinding multi-sensory tour of Italy fully immerses you in the beauty and the brilliance of iconic masterworks from the greatest artistic period in history.
An homage to Claude Monet and the Impressionist painters of the mid-19th through early-20th centuries, this experience explores not only the paintings themselves but the history of the Impressionist movement.
His masterworks have been displayed around the world for over a century… but never like this. Described as “an unforgettable multi-sensory experience,” Van Gogh Alive is a powerful and vibrant symphony of light, color, sound, and scent.
