Van Gogh Museum


The last stop on our schedule for the day was the Van Gogh Museum, which boasts of the largest collection of van Goghs in the world. My favorite piece was "Sunflowers," which has always been my favorite of van Gogh due to my personal bias for the flower. The museum also features a diverse group of 19th-century paintings by other artists of the time that van Gogh admired, such as Gaughin and Emile Bernard.

It was truly an amazing experience being able to see so many famous works of art firsthand.
