Late Night @ The Van Gogh Museum

On any given day The Van Gogh Museum is stocked full of Van Gogh's bright, vivid paintings arranged in a wonderful chronological story of his life, however, currently the exhibit Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night brings a whole new set of gems to the museum. In collaboration with the MoMa, the museum has put together an extraordinary collection of Van Gogh's and his contemporaries' paintings of nighttime scenes - including the famous Starry Night.
We journeyed to Amsterdam to see this special exhibit during their weekly Friday nights at the museum event. While gazing at Van Gogh's amazing paintings, we were treated to the sounds of Jazz vocalist Fay Claasen.
