There's a big exhibition in Melbourne (Australia) at the moment of the Impressionists, on loan from France. I saw it on the weekend - it has one of the Van Gogh "Starry Night" pictures in it.
I couldn't believe my eyes - seeing it for real is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen - all the hair stood up on the back of my neck. A picture in a book is *nothing* like it at all. If you ever get a chance to see a real Van Gogh you should do it. It's an amazing experience.
