In The News - Stay at Vincent's

In true 21st-century style, the Dutch post-Impressionist's bedroom is available on Airbnb. No unfortunately it is not the one in the "Yellow House" in Arles, France. This room is located in Chicago, where an exhibition devoted to the artist's quest for home opened on Sunday February 14th. As part of a promotional campaign, The Art Institute of Chicago commissioned a recreation of the famous room, which rents for just $10 a night in Chicago's River North neighborhood. 

The museum hopes to bring fresh eyes and fresh perspective to the painting, which has long been an icon of their permanent collection. "Van Gogh's Bedrooms," running from February 14 through May 10 at the Art Institute, focuses on three paintings Van Gogh created of the room in Arles between 1888 and 1889. More than 30 additional works round out the exhibit. Availability is tight for the Airbnb room, so the museum is taking bookings in blocks that it's announcing via Twitter and Facebook. 

The $10 nightly rate includes tickets to the exhibition. There's also a to-scale replica of the bedroom within the exhibition itself. That replica is part of an immersive experience featuring music and scrolling images and text. At this time it appears that it is completely sold out. 

Airbnb is a well known website for people to list, find, and rent lodging. It has over 1,500,000 listings in 34,000 cities and 190 countries.
