For those who haven't been to this fantastic museum, it is set up to display his art chronologically. It's a captivating journey through Van Gogh 's art and life. His art is an excellent mirror on how he felt as he dealt with his mental illness. As you near the end of his life you can decidely see the effects of his deteorating mental state. To me the emotional impact of that caused me to avoid looking at his last work. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I know how the story ends, however such a visceral reminder of the end to an artistic legacy that is now revered around the world was too much for me to take in. Never have I had such an experience at a museum. I can't recommend enough that if you're in Amsterdam to visit the Van Gogh museum.

Your art is decent, but I’d really appreciate if you stopped posting the same pieces over and over and over again.

You made that over two years ago and have been posting it once a month. Enough of the ads. Also why the hell would the museum want that?
