The Van Gogh you posted - The Postman - is actually at the Barnes Foundation in Merion, PA. It's being moved - despite many, many disagreements - to Philadelphia. They are in the process of building a place for it. Albert Barnes lived in the house where his entire collection (Van Gogh, Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, etc) is on display.

He should’ve threatened to turn the collection over to Harvard!
LSAT score = 168
Not perfect. But not bad. Especially because I’m not even sure I want to follow through with the whole law school thing anyhow. Next stop GRE.
The Van Gogh is at the Barnes Museum in Merion, PA outside Philadelphia (big controversy surrounding the Museum these days.) They just made a great film about the 'theft' of the collection by the City - called Art of The Steal. Absolutely worth a watch.

Thanks J, I read up on it a little and it seems like a really interesting issue. However, right or wrong, I feel like calling it the largest art heist in history is a bit of a misnomer. That said, being from Boston, I’d be furious if anyone tried to touch the Gardner collection displays.
Why the math political science paper?
Does anyone else have moments that they feel so mopey that they wish they still had a livejournal?
