The House of Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, offers visitors a glimpse into the final months of Vincent van Gogh's life. Located in the Auberge Ravoux, where the artist spent his last 70 days, this small museum provides an intimate look at Van Gogh's living conditions during this period.

The museum also features a short film about the artist's life, which most visitors find informative and well-produced.
However, some visitors note that the museum is quite small and the visit can be relatively brief. The lack of original artworks may disappoint some, as the focus is more on Van Gogh's living space rather than his paintings. Additionally, accessibility can be an issue, as the narrow, steep stairs to the attic room may be challenging for some visitors.
The museum's location in the charming village of Auvers-sur-Oise is often highlighted as a positive, allowing visitors to explore other Van Gogh-related sites in the area. However, some find the admission price a bit high considering the limited scope of the exhibition.
