Great place to experience some exceptional art. Very distinctive building too, but didn't find the time to appreciate the museum's structure much on a quick 2-ish hour visit.

I went for the Sunflowers, but came back captivated by the beauty of the Almond Blossoms.

You tend to remember Van Gogh as the eccentric who cut off his own ear.

But the museum does a fantastic job of highlighting something else - that he had the tenacity and drive to work through some of the darkest periods of his life - and produce sunshine while his life probably had very little.

Also super interesting how most of his fame is due to his sister-in-law who continued to promote his work after he passed away.
