Artists Recreate Van Gogh’s Iconic Bedroom And Put It For Rent On Airbnb

ADVERTISEMENT

For the first time in North America, all three versions of Van Gogh’s famous painting of his bedroom in Arles, France, will be displayed in Chicago along with some of his other work. To celebrate the occasion, the Art Institute of Chicago has recreated the room and put it up for rent on Airbnb for just 10USD.

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

More info: artic.edu | Airbnb (h/t: colossal)

Do you want to spend a night in Van Gogh’s room?

“I’m charging $10 for no other reason than that I need to buy paint,” reads the ad on Airbnb

“However, I will be happy to provide you with tickets to my exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago”

“This room will make you feel like you’re living in a painting”

If it's exhibited in North America, it would be exhibited in more than one country. Not only Mexico or not only Canada.

Awesome work. It would be nice to try it... as long as there are no loud noises from cars, trucks, trains, etc... A very nice experience I would say.

This looks beautiful, but eerie. I doubt the actual bedroom in Arles would have looked like this. This looks more like something out of Dr. Seuss.

He's not trying to replicate the actual bedroom. He's bringing the painting itself to life.
