Art attack

In the basement of the Van Gogh Museum I found an immersive exhibit that sent me wandering through 900 glass sunflowers that turn from green to yellow to red in changing light. I managed to get through the mental breakdown room with both ears...

Later, in the MOCO museum basement, I stepped into Roy Lichtenstein's 3D re-creation of Van Gogh's bedroom, based on Vincent's "Artist's Room at Arles." Lichtenstein said about it: "I've cleaned his room up a little bit for him and he'll be very happy when he gets home from the hospital to see I've straightened his shirts and bought some new furniture. His is much better but mine is much bigger."

  1. Vincent would have admired Roy don’t you think? Mind bending exhibit that I hope is permanent.
