Vincent Van Gogh On Airbnb

WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring IMAGES Airbnb


Fancy staying in Vincent van Gogh’s bedroom for the night? In celebration of three of Van Gogh’s iconic works being shown at the Art Institute of Chicago, the museum has recreated the artist’s Arles bedroom and put it up on Airbnb.

The Airbnb ad states, “This room will make you feel like you’re living in a painting. It’s decorated in a Post-Impressionist style, reminiscent of Southern France and times gone by. Its furniture, bright colours, and artwork will give you the experience of a lifetime.”

It costs only $10 per night, as the host (which, of course, is Vincent himself) needs to cover the cost of paint. Better still, he’ll throw in tickets to the exhibition too.

Browse the gallery above to see what the room looks like.
