van Gogh's van Goghs

From the US National Gallery of Art comes this virtual exhibition of the real event (October 4, 1998 - January 3, 1999). The "tour" moves through virtual rooms, and chronicles van Gogh's work from the early years to the final months at Auvers-sur-Oise. Everything is well-narrated and a pleasure to view.
