Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is arguably known as one of the greatest painters to ever live. He created some of the world’s most famous paintings and first helped shape the meaning of ‘virtual reality.’ And while it’s physically impossible to ever meet this painter in real life, Oculus has made it feasible to interact with him in the virtual world through a new VR experience called Meeting Rembrandt.

Developed by Force Field Studios, this interactive VR experience takes you back to the 17th century where you get to meet Rembrandt up close and in person. You’ll see how the famous painter came to create controversial paintings such as the Night Watch.

Meeting Rembrandt is also quite different in the fact that they put a real life actor in a digital space. The developers were able to recreate Remrandt’s home in Amsterdam and add in a person to match certain settings which is quite brilliant.

In addition, the Meeting Rembrandt allows you to be a part of the movie where he responds to your actions which makes the experience that much more immersive. This new VR title is available today on Samsung Gear VR at the Oculus Store. The best thing about this is that it’s free. So make sure to download and try it out to see what it might be like to meet the famous dutch painter.

There’s also a VR title called The Night Cafe which allows you to explore the world of Vincent van Gogh if you are interested in similar experience. This is available on the Samsung Gear VR which is also free at the Oculus Store.
