Van Gogh Museum










Vincent Van Gogh, one of the most important dutch painters. He killed himself in 1890, aged 37. He was dirt poor, having sold only one painting in his lifetime. The Van Gogh Museum opened in 1973, its a modern building behind the spectacular Rijsk Museum. He painted a lot of dutch landscape. Its so beautiful. Peter liked visiting this museum and the Van Gogh story. I like his artwork a lot. The museum holds many of the artist's most famous works, including his self portrait and his bedroom.
Later that day we came across an eatery it reminded me of when I was a boy put your money into the slot and then open up a door then take your croquette or hamburger just cool, we both enjoyed the shop a lot. Everyone you see rides bicycles from the youngest to the elderly not many cars, just good; narrow streets, canals just beautiful. Peter said he could live here easily.
O Van Gogh Museum e todo moderno- completamente diferente do antigo e majestoso Rijskmusuem, mais o que e interessante e que e pequeno e muitas obras de Van Gogh inclusive os famosos como a "casa amarela", "his bedroom" e o famoso "self retrato."
tb tem alguns quadros de pintores que trabalharam com ele na epoca que ele morou na Franca, como Gaugin e Monet.
