A new immersive exhibition featuring the work of iconic artist Frida Kahlo will begin touring major US cities later this month.
The multi-sensory experience will allow Frida fans to encounter the artist's beautiful and powerful paintings in a way they never have before.
Walls will be illuminated with projections of enlarged paintings by the the Mexico-born artist, such as The Two Fridas and The Wounded Deer, while the soundtrack from Italian composer Luca Longobard plays provides thoughtful listening.
This exciting digital display has been produced by the team behind the sell-out Van Gogh immersive exhibition, which has been a global success. Now, they have turned their focus to Frida Kahlo, proclaiming her life and work deserves the same attention and treatment.
The immersive shows are a modern way to give important, historic art a new lease of life, attracting audiences around the world to learn about icons of the past.

"Frida Kahlo’s art is not only beautiful on an aesthetic level; it has also become a universal symbol of resilience and perseverance", the Frida: Immersive Dream official website states.
"Brave and brutally honest, Kahlo transferred her fears and pain onto canvas in a way that resonates even more powerfully with us today."
It continues: "Kahlo’s art has been described as magic realism – blending realistic depictions of her life with fantastical elements to reflect her inner thoughts and struggles.
“Using state-of-the-art technology, the 360-degree experience invites you to step inside the colourful and vibrant world of Frida Kahlo as never before with Immersive Frida Kahlo.”
The Frida: Immersive Dream experience will be visiting Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, LA, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto, with the tour kicking off in Boston.
