Amsterdam/Van Gogh Museum (GRC Post 10)

This past weekend, I went to Amsterdam. Amsterdam is probably one of the most interesting place I have ever been in my life. The architecture of the building, and the way the city is designed is very unusual. Most cities do not have canal system around the city, which makes Amsterdam different from any other place.

 While in Amsterdam, I was also able to visit the Vincent Van Gogh Museum. I didn't know much about him before, but now I would probably list him as one of my favorite artists. The way the museum was designed was great. There were about 4 floors total, with the floors were set up in different parts of his life, and his different painting styles.  You went with his as his life progressed, and his mental health began deteriorating. I didn't realize that he never even started painting until he was 29 years old. So crazy. Definitely one of the best weekends of my life.

    1. No, I wish! The line was super long and there was a huge storm, so we didn't want to wait in the rain. Pre-book your tickets if you can! Have fun, it's an amazing city!!
