New Delhi, Feb 2 (IANSlife) From April 14 to 28, Delhi will host Van Gogh 360°, an immersive, multi-media event that brought the vibrant colours of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works to life in Mumbai during a sold-out run.
The exhibit will also make stops in Bangalore, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Kochi, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Lucknow, Nagpur, Pune, Indore, Goa and Surat later in the year.
