For years, Van Gogh's iconic Sunflowers paintings have been scattered across the world, displayed in museums across Tokyo, London, Amsterdam, Munich and Philadelphia. 

But they'll get a chance to come together for the first time in history — thanks to Facebook.

A virtual exhibition which sees all five paintings housed together in one gallery, presented in a 360 video, is already available for viewing on Facebook and through VR.

The 360 video includes a narration by Van Gogh's great-grand-nephew, Willem Van Gogh. 

But the real star of the show, however, will be the Facebook Live "relay" with a curator from each museum, delivering a live 15-minute commentary of each work before handing over to the next gallery. That's set to air on Monday at 12:50 p.m. ET. Read more...
