Coloring the Van Gogh Bedroom

After attending the exhibit of  Van Gogh's Bedrooms  at  The Art Institute of Chicago , I've become a bit obsessed with the museum itself and Van Gogh's works.  As a life-long Chicago resident, the exhibit prompted me to become a  member  of the museum and I'm so glad I did!

Signs of Catholicism in the Thorne Miniature Rooms at The Art Institute

Not too long ago, I wrote about how  I found God in Van Gogh's bedrooms  at  The Art Institute .  My friend and I had such a good time that we planned another visit.  This time we went to see the  Thorne Miniature Rooms .  These beautiful little rooms had us searching for the tiniest details.  Sometimes we would find eyeglasses on a table.  Chess sets were common as were the tiny place settings for the next meal. To view the gallery, please go to Being Catholic ... Really .

I found God in Van Gogh's bedrooms

I made a trip to  The Art Institute of Chicago  to see the  Van Gogh's Bedrooms  exhibit.  The exhibit runs through May 10, 2016.  I know the phrase "must see" is overused, but this really is a one of a kind exhibit that is being done only in Chicago, so it really is a "must see."
