The interactive project allows people to walk into van Gogh's Night Cafe painting, even seeing the artist himself up close, by donning a VR headset.

'The Night Cafe is an immersive VR environment that allows you to explore the world of Vincent van Gogh first hand,' said Mac Cauley, a New York game designer.

'I have always been drawn to the paintings of Van Gogh and I imagined it would be amazing to be inside one of these colourful worlds.'

Cauley says the project gave him an insight into the artist's work.
