I've twice been to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam and twice I've been totally bowled over, overwhelmed with emotion, esp. toward the end of his life paintings. You can't see the same thing in 2D.

That was an amazing museum. I felt so lucky to have been able to visit.

One of my favorite experiences as far as museums are concerned!

For anyone who might visit: be sure to take the (free) tour. My guide was actually one of the conservators(?) who, among other things, had traveled to inspect found/bought paintings for the museum. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Van Gogh, which made the whole experience even better.
