Van Gogh

No other painter of caliber has a museum so totally dedicated to his own work thanks to his surviving family who so carefully curated his work after his death and the death of his collector agent and brother Theo ! Early impressionist in the late 1800's he painted as much as one piece of artwork daily before sadly committing suicide by shooting himself and walking home to die at a young age. The Van Gogh Museum is beyond anything I've seen in terms of range of works, historical coverage, quality of the selected pieces, gallery presentation, value of the pieces, almost all aspects! You walk through Vincent's life from his traditional Dutch dark works through his Paris enlightenment and awakening and then on to the Provence years in awe! Veritably all other galleries become generalized museums and this is a different league!
