When I was there in 2019, we were told that the actual room that Van Gogh had stayed in had been destroyed/reassigned during the World Wars and that the room they had on display as "Van Gogh's room" was a recreation based on best information.
However, that really doesn't matter too much compared to the story of a man crippled by mental illness whose only solace was trying to capture the beauty in the world.

What’s remarkable is how lively he made this space when he recreated it with his paintbrushes
