Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles

This is my second visit to the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh in Arles; I’m pleased to say that it did not disappoint despite the fact that there aren’t many actual Van Gogh paintings there but the one that they did have, was my very favourite Van Gogh: ‘Starry Night Over The Rhone’ so I loved seeing it again, I find it very moving. There isn't a permanent exhibition of Van Goghs here; I don't think that he museum actually owns any of his works but they are lent out to them from other institutions to exhibit but perhaps I'm wrong about this. The last time that I was there, they had his ‘Sunflowers’ amongst others; this time, the theme of the expo was ‘Les Etoiles’ and so we had ‘Starry Night Over The Rhone’ and lots of other star -themed art influenced or connected with the stars. It was a great expo with lots of varied styles of art and it really captured the beauty of the night and I believe, the magic that Van Gogh felt in the night and stars.
