Big art blockbusters don’t get bigger or blockbusterier than the National Gallery’s ‘Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers’. It’s just room after room of gorgeous, world famous paintings by one of art history’s biggest stars, and it has attracted a pretty staggering 280,000 visitors. And now, in its final weeks, visitors will get the chance to go see it at 3am if they really, really want to.
Tickets to the show have consistently sold out, so if you want to see it, this one-off 24-hour access might be your only chance. The extra timed slots (which will get you in from 9pm on Friday 17 January until 10am Saturday 18 January) just went on sale, so you’d better be quick.
This is only the second time the National Gallery has opened through the night, the first time being for ‘Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan’ in 2012, so if you can hack staying up that late (or getting up that early) it’s sure to be a special, unique opportunity to see the guy who did Starry Night while it’s literally starry and at night.
The National Gallery’s ‘Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers’ 24 hour access is on Jan 17, tickets available here.
