This blog is related to the Van Gough Museum in Amsterdam, which has influenced me in a positive manner. This museum has meaning to me because my mother’s side of the family is from the Netherlands, and they would frequently take me here when I would visit in the summer or over a school break.

This meaning affected me in a way that it showed me both a different type of architecture, which the building has, and a different type of culture within the architecture at a very young age. The encounter was one in that I visited it and explored it slowly, as I also took in the works of art inside the building along with the architecture of the building itself. My thoughts and feelings towards it at the time were astonishment because it was a very new style of architecture to me.
