The last entertainment was a visit to van Gogh (Pronounce it Gohh) Museum in Amsterdam. Very nice. Van Gogh's life was quite interesting. He started painting when he was already an adult and without any formal education. At the end he became one of the most influential painters of his generation, laying the foundations for modern painting.
To enjoy his partings, one has to look them from far away.
Van Gogh was also mentally ill at the end of his life and he ended up dying of self-inflicted wounds as a consequence of shooting himself at the chest.
Van Gogh dreamt of having an atelier where other painters could work together. Gaugin joined him and spend a few months there. Gaugin later left after van Gogh threatened him with a razor blade. In the process, a frustrated van Gogh cut part of his ear off.
