Have you ever cried in a museum? What was the art museum? Was it a van Gogh? [View all]

I ask about van Gogh because I cried in the van Gogh Museum's "Wheat Fields with Crows." Several years later I was reading a NYT article about a working artist who said the first time she cried in a museum was in the same museum, but a different painting. Now, two years after reading that, I read another NYT art section piece by a NYT art critic who cried at a van Gogh exhibit in Paris at the Musee d'Orsay.

I'm just wondering if this is phenomenon of van Gogh's effect on us because we know how tortured by his thoughts van Gogh was. And because it drove him to suicide.

Whatever it is, it is truly felt.
