Your ticket also provides entry to ongoing temporary exhibitions, adding another layer of intrigue to your visit (though please note it does not include reserved timed entrance): be sure to check out "Van Gogh à Auvers-sur-Oise: Les derniers mois," running from October 3rd, 2023, until January 28th, 2024. This brief yet transformative period in Van Gogh's life was marked by an artistic evolution that resulted in iconic works, including "Le Docteur Paul Gachet" and "L'église d'Auvers-sur-Oise." After experiencing turbulence in Arles and a period of asylum in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh sought peace near Paris, where he found encouragement from Dr. Gachet, a supporter of Impressionism. In just 60 days, this prolific artist created an astounding 74 paintings and 33 drawings, showcasing the rapid growth and intensity of his artistic vision during this pivotal time. This exhibition, a collaboration between the Musée d'Orsay and the Van Gogh Museum, invites you to delve into this critical chapter of the artist’s journey, providing a deeper understanding of his genius and the passion that fueled his creativity.
