- Very cool experience!
- The Impressionists, Paris 1874 experience was amazing! Loved walking around Paris in their milieu! So wonderful! I did feel a slight bit out of sorts at the very end. Perhaps, as it was my first virtual reality foray, my head-set may have been on a bit too tight around my eyes. I found myself adjusting it a few times during my session. Still a wonderful NYC afternoon, and the feeling of being in Paris circa :1874 in my favorite period of Art History! I have a B.A. in Art History, and will recommend this experience to my friends, family and colleagues! Thank you!
