Van Gogh Museum

Tuesday, April 28

We went to the Van Gogh museum today. The paintings on the first floor were of his self-portraits. The second and third floors were the story of his life. These floors included not only his painting but the paintings of his friends and colleagues- Monet, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and others.

Picture taking was not allowed in the museum. The pictures below were taken at other museums
or from the Van Gogh website.

After the museum we went in search of the Albert Cuypmarkt. This is Amsterdam's largest street market. You can buy anything from food (fish, cheese, fruit, vegetables, etc.) to used clothing, fabric, junk, etc. We picked up some vegetables and fish for supper.

Lots of flowers for sale
