The tickets are sold by choosing not only a particular date but also a time period of entering-morning, afternoon or evening. The purpose seems to control the number of visiting people for fear of crowding and it really saved our queuing time.
Based on Vincent's(1853-1890) route to artistic creation, the exhibition space is divided into seven areas with the time phases-Borinage, Etten, Hague, Nuenen, Paris, South of France (Arles and Saint-Remy) and Auvers-sur-Oise with 77 drawings and 21 oil paintings. Before we get to see those masterpieces, a person who should be respected first is Theodorus, Vincent's younger brother. Without his support to Vincent's living, Vincent could not have finished so many artworks. He was a great man for cherishing the brotherliness and appreciating his brother's talent. The reason why I admire Vincent very much is he had the courage to start the interest as his career although he was already 27 years old at that time. About his love sotry, it is a pity that he had not met his true love in his whole life. Love is always the energy for people to move on especially for very lonely people like him.
Back to our visit, Jessica and I looked over all the art pieces though my favorites-the starry night-is not showned. Both of us thinks it's still a very valuable opportunity as this is the very first time that Kroller-Muller Museum in Netherlands shared those artworks to Taiwan. Still, I hope I'll have the chance to Netherlands, France or New York to visit the museums for other famous masterpieces in the near future.
