Gogh Museum Hopping

July 9th, 2008

Self Portrait - Vincent van GoghIn the midst of the sweltering summer it is nice to take a break from the heat and take in some culture at a local museum.  Should you find yourself in Amsterdam this summer, art and culture abounds and Van Gogh can’t be missed.  The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh’s works.  For a first hand look at one patron’s experience at the Van Gogh museum check out this enlightening post from Bells on a Starry Night.  The Rijksmuseum also has some of Van Gogh’s work as well as works from many other famous artists and eras, or if you are venturing out of Amsterdam consider visiting the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo which houses over two hundred and fifty of Van Gogh’s works.  Prefer to view the masterpieces a little closer to home?  Go to the Van Gogh Gallery catalog and filter by city, state, country or museum name to find the Van Goghs closest to you.  Is there an interesting Van Gogh work or tour in your local area?  Leave a comment and let me know!

    i am a expression artist and i have been watching the stars and night sky the last month. During this time i noticed the stars will communicate. This might have been what drove him crazy- that is if he was over the rainbow hes crazy. I know it is driving me towords going fishing . Or there is another entity contoling the lights in the night(like shooting stars and comets or are they alien craft or new jets that go really fast) whateverthecase-i do enjoy his work ;moreso,starry night
