The Van Gogh museum is Amsterdam is really well done. If you had to pick one museum and didn’t have lots of time to see that is the one.

A dead man needs to have an ear and a heart mended?

Lazarus maybe, but not Van Gogh.

In Arles you can visit the loony bin where Van Gogh was kept, but none of his paintings are there.

I was prepared not to like it, but it was actually pretty great.

I dunno. Clever use of the craft, but I object to "fixing" Van Gogh. ya imma killjoy.

Creative concept. Overall, it's not just satisfying craft — it's psychological art therapy disguised as paper play. The artist turns historical pain into something warm and restorative.

The ASMR-level sound makes it even more sensually engrossing.

Looks great on the surface, but now he can't paint anymore. They killed his muse and he'll have to get a job as a waiter or something.

That was excellent. Early running for the best thing I'll see all month. Also- you'll note that you're getting people who typically disagree vehemently, agreeing on liking this.
A nice change.

Apropos to cute videos, here is a party I wish I was at.

Van Gogh was as much of a hot mess as Marilyn.
