Houston Exhibition Offers Rare Chance to See Van Gogh Masterworks in Person

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is open almost 365 days a year, so everyone is welcome to visit. I wouldn't call viewing a Van Gogh a "rare chance."

Try going to Chicago, Paris, St. Petersburg RU or The Netherlands. There are lots of Van Goghs out there.

Bringing Vincent van Gogh’s ear ‘back to life’

11 Nov 2014

US based artist Diemut Strebe grew a replica copy of painter Vincent van Gogh’s ear earlier this year.

Living cells were taken from one of Van Gogh’s relatives and shaped using a 3D printer to resemble the ear the artist is said to have cut off in 1888.

The ear, which was placed in a nutrient rich solution to keep it alive, formed part of an art exhibition at a German museum.

BBC Click’s Spencer Kelly went behind the scenes to find out more.

Thanks for sharing. I live in the Houston area. Adult tickets are $25. Should draw a big crowd. For some reason, the MFAH website does not list which specific pieces will be displayed.

The painting I would be interested in seeing is the sunflower with its label: “For Amy”...

Last August I visited my son in Houston. The highlight of the trip was visiting the Houston Museum of Fine Arts.

We spent all day there. After a lunch break we saw the Glassell gold collection. Room after room of incredible gold objects, more gold than I’ve ever seen before.

If you’re in the Houston area be sure to visit the museum, even if you can’t make it to the Van Gogh exhibit.

The museum of free on Thursday, but there is a fee for the Van Gogh exhibit.

Thanks so much. I’ll actually be in Houston at the right time. Never been there before, visiting relatives. Now there’s something else to do.

As a child and growing up we had a small print of "the fishing boats" in the house.

When I went to college there was a similar print in the registration office.

Good omen.
