The House of Doctor Gachet offers, echoing this Exhibition Event, a New Layout, close to the Initial Decor discovered by Vincent van Gogh on his Arrival in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890 and created from the Descriptions given by the Great Nephew of the Doctor and a Watercolor from the 1903 Salon by the Artist Léopold Robin... This Evocation allows Visitors a Closer Look at the Intimacy and Settings that inspired Vincent van Gogh in his Paintings.
