I'm amazed that this is online, but the Van Gogh museum experience was really fantastic. I got back from Amsterdam a little over a week ago and was impressed at how innovative it felt compared to US art museums I've visited. We happened to enter the The Van Gogh Dreams installation (https://vangoghmuseum.nl/en/whats-on/exhibitions/van-gogh-dreams https://vangoghmuseum.nl/en/whats-on/exhibitions/van-gogh-dr...) ahead of the main museum and I found it a very helpful experience before seeing the art.
- bloodorange 8y agoMay I recommend the movie "Loving Vincent". Do note that the tale is not a happy one.
- monkeydust 8y agoWatched this on Netflix the other week. Amazing film, worth reading into the production of it to fully appreciate it.
- TheAdamist 8y agoDoctor who's "Vincent and the doctor" is great as well, but a tearjerker of an ending. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_and_the_Doctor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_and_the_Doctor
- rdschouw 8y agoInteresting you think that. Van Gogh was a great painter but the museum is really not that good. I went last year. I find most art museums where I live (NYC) more interesting IMHO. They've also a no-photographs-policy and overly aggressive attendants who are just plain annoying.
- zerkten 8y agoWhy is the no photographs policy a problem when you can get reproductions online? That piques my interest as a photographer. Off the top of my head, the layout and design of War Photos Limited in Dubrovnik (http://www.warphotoltd.com/ http://www.warphotoltd.com/) offered many more interesting opportunities for an interesting shot.
