A couple of weeks ago I built an art museum in Minecraft for an art history final project. Just a heads up, it's going to be a long post. All of this was built in vanilla the only mod I was running was Optifine, I photoshopped the paintings on their panels later.
The museum is based off of my experiences at the Van Gogh and Monet Immersive Exhibits, so this first room would just be an informational bit about the Impressionist movement and the artists in the exhibit: Van Gogh, Monet, Morisot, Cassatt, Robinson, Frieseke, and Peterson.
The next two rooms are about the European Impressionists, Van Gogh, Monet, and Morisot. The smaller room at the end is meant to be like an immersive experience of some Van Gogh paintings, Bedroom in Arles and Wheatfield with Cypress though I made the cypress a little too wide.
The next two rooms are set up in a similar way to the European artists except for the paintings here were made by the American Impressionists, Cassatt, Robinson, Frieseke, and Peterson. The immersive room here is based on Frieseke's works The Hammock and Unraveling Silk.
And since this whole build was based on the Van Gogh and Monet Immersive experiences I felt like I had to include a little VR area.
The next set of screenshots is of a large immersive room in the center of the museum, here I tried to recreate several different Impressionist paintings.
I think the Impression, Sunrise wall turned out great and I love how the gradient continues on to Cafe at Night and Gare St Lazare.
And of course what kind of museum would this be if there wasn't a gift shop at the end.
And yeah, that's it, that's the build. It's literally just interior, didn't have the time to make a whole exterior and landscape it.
