Art major in me made me giggle when I saw this site. I'm fortunate to live in area with relatively easy access to his paintings, but with such high quality reproduction, it's 'almost' as good as going to museum.
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-dr...) ahead of the main museum and I found it a very helpful experience before seeing the art.
Interesting 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.
Why 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/) offered many more interesting opportunities for an interesting shot.
