Van Gogh Explorer Set
Paint like a master. On an instrument you built.
An official Van Gogh Sites Foundation partnership — build a ukulele, learn his technique, then watch your painting come alive in AR.
Four disciplines. One object.
Music, art, history and technology — not four lessons, one thing you made.
01 — Build
Craft your musical canvas.
Start with a real concert ukulele you assemble yourself. Fine motor skills, patience and spatial reasoning — before a single brushstroke.
02 — Learn
Step into Van Gogh's vision.
Guided videos take you inside the mind of one of history's most influential artists — what made him revolutionary, and how his brushwork actually works.
03 — Paint
Swirling brushstrokes, on your own instrument.
Recreate Starry Night or Sunflowers on the ukulele you built — with the paints, brushes and technique guides in the box.
04 — Digitise
From physical to voxel.
Transform your painted instrument into a digital collectible and exhibit it in The Sandbox metaverse — your artwork, standing in a gallery the world can visit.
Play With Confidence
Master the ukulele through our gamified ChordVentures game, where learning feels like playing. Progress through engaging challenges that teach chords, strumming patterns, and songs at your own pace.
