Amherst at Deerpark — Attraction in Asheville

A wonderful exhibit. Take your time. There is a lot to see. This is an exhibit about Da Vinci’s genius. It is not an exhibit of all his works. The guards were wonderful about explaining the exhibit before you see it. It is located on the grounds of the Biltmore estate. There is plenty of parking and a nice gazebo if you are waiting to enter. The entryway has 2 large panels with details about him but you can see any part of the exhibit in any order that you want. There is a large unique 32-minute video presentation inside one large room that is on a continuous loop. It has limited seating and it is presented around the walls, columns, and floors of the room. It is very good because it gives you a very broad idea with pictures and sayings of his works. The other room, across from the video room has several of these exhibits and placards describing each of them. There is a gift shop if you want to pick up souvenirs to remember your visit. I really liked the exhibit and thought it did a good job of showing his genius and broad description of his works. I highly...

This was a unique experience that was rather unexpected. We visited the Van Gogh exhibit. Most visitors were not masked for COVID guidelines and I felt that there were too many people standing too close to observe social distancing. Despite this I came prepared and wore double masks. I'm accustomed to seeing art exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Guggenheim Museum so this exhibition was completely different and unique. It afforded me the opportunity to learn more about the artist without having to read each plaque which can be exhausting. The music along with excerpts from his personal letters gave you unique insight to the artist. However, with that said, this is not type of exhibit that lends itself to sketching from his work because the visual presentation is too fast. I would attend another exhibit from another artist once I plan for another visit. When and if I return to NYC I'll revisit the other traditional museums. Each manner of presentation has...

I was at the Biltmore to see the Van Gogh ALive and plan to be there for the next art experiences. The Amherst is a nice comfortable space for events. The event was set up to include a gift shop, gallery of information about Van Gogh and one of his favorite pieces was set up as an echibit. The visual section is spectacular and shows his art work on on huge wall screens and floor screens. It was very nicely done. I was asked if it was better then Immersive Van Gogh. I must say I can't compare. Both were so good. Immersive Van Gogh is very creative, artistic, dramatic and breath taking. Van Gogh Alive has more of an educational quality and allows you to really see and almost experience the art work. You definitely can't go wrong with...
