I am rather fond of this museum because it’s FREE and it’s a one hour train ride for me to see a Van Gogh painting!
This was where I first saw with my own eyes a Van Gogh in the Fall of 2010!
Twice I have been on a guided Tour. In 2010 there was one on Post-Impressionists and January 2014 it was about Historic art of the 16th-18th century. With the latter guide I did not actually choose it but it was the only one on that day. It turned out to be so interesting and that’s where I first saw the Katheryn of Berain painting and instantly felt drawn to it…Turns out she was a lady with immense wealth and power-all the things I aspire to!
In the past I always just went to see the pretty impressionist paintings there’s a Van Gogh and Monet! *Swoon* But next time I’ll just broaden my horizons and check out a category I know little about.
Can’t wait to visit again!

Seeing the iconic pictures in person are definitely a different experience than online! One of the great wonders of visiting museums.
We’ve heard tons of great things about the art in Wales. You should look into the Chepstow Museum!
