The two main things on my agenda when I’m in town for a conference (besides of course, the conference) are 1) which museums and I visiting and 2) what vegan food am I eating before and after my museum visit(s).
Of course the big draw in Amsterdam is the Van Gogh Museum. To visit the Van Gogh Museum required an early visit and a timed ticket, but it was all quite organized so I was able to breeze right in.
I wasn’t blown away by the museum experience, but it did remind me how much I appreciate the movie Loving Vincent which I got to enjoy back at the Cable Car movie theatre in Providence before it sadly closed down. Loving Vincent is a 2017 experimental animated biographical drama film about the life of the painter Vincent van Gogh, and, in particular, about the circumstances of his death. It is the first fully painted animated feature film.
Following the museum visit I wandered over to the Vondelpark and enjoyed a bagel and cream cheese from Bagels & Beans along the way. Vondelpark is the largest city park in Amsterdam.
