A unique
reconstitution ...
A scenographer and a set designer have worked after the famous painting to recreate the exact setting and particular admosphere of the room in which Vincent Van Gogh painted his most remarkable paintings. Every little detail has been carefully reproduced in a house only a few steps away from the famous "Maison jaune", the yellow-fronted house which was bombed during the war. The whole idea is to recreate the feeling, to fuel the emotion. It is a unique feeling to be in Vincent's room.

A major piece of artwork ...
Vincent's bedroom in Arles is one of the best known painting by one of the most famous painters. The funny thing is that this painted was Van Gogh's own favorite scene and that he painting five versions of it: two sketches and three oil paintings. Vincent's bedroom as it is has been redone after the first of the three oil paintings, dated October 1888 and currently exhibited in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. The painter described his room in detail in several lettres he wrote to his brother Theo.
