MORENO VALLEY, CA — The new Moreno Valley ArtSpace & Museum opens to the public on September 25 at the Moreno Valley Mall. The first exhibit is: The New Immersive van Gogh: The Next Chapter. The exhibition marks the first phase of the new Moreno Valley ArtSpace and Museum, developed in partnership between Lighthouse Immersive and the City of Moreno Valley.

This reimagined production builds on the worldwide success of the original Immersive van Gogh, inviting audiences to embark on an extraordinary journey through the life and art of Vincent van Gogh.

Using floor-to-ceiling projection and spatial storytelling techniques, this installation allows visitors to move through animated environments inspired by the work of legendary artists and creators. “Immersive van Gogh changes how people experience art,” says Corey Ross, CEO of Lighthouse Immersive. “After welcoming millions of visitors worldwide, we’re thrilled to bring this transformative experience to Moreno Valley.”

Curated by Marco Generoso Realino, CEO of Visioni S.r.l., The New Immersive van Gogh: The Next Chapter continues the evolution of van Gogh’s legacy through advanced visual storytelling.

“This exhibition reveals the human essence behind van Gogh’s art—his resilience, his emotional depth, and his pursuit of beauty even in struggle,” Realino explains. “Each projection becomes a window into his world, inviting the audience to see beyond the canvas.”

The Moreno Valley City Council initiated the partnership, seeing an opportunity to use immersive technology to expand how the community engages with art and history; it blends immersive art, local history, and community gathering spaces.

The new Moreno Valley Museum & ArtSpace, a new cultural destination created by the City of Moreno Valley and Lighthouse Immersive, has transformed the former Sears store at Moreno Valley Mall into a vibrant two-story museum complex.

Serving as both a museum and entertainment hub, the venue features immersive experiences, hands-on exhibits, additional galleries, curated retail, a cozy café, and ample free parking. The destination brings art, storytelling, and civic engagement together while celebrating Moreno Valley’s heritage and creative energy.

“We are extremely proud and excited to bring this cutting-edge approach to culture to the Inland Empire,” says Mayor Ulises Cabrera. “This project is a defining moment for the City of Moreno Valley.”

The museum opens on September 25, 2026. Tickets are on sale now and start at $29.99. For tickets, go to MorenoValleyMuseum.com.
