Vinnie's tub

Vincent van Gogh spent one year at the insane asylum in Saint-Rémy de Provence (France). Throughout the course of this year Van Gogh would battle his own personal demons, but would also produce many of the best works of his career. This room (next to his sleeping room) is the bathing room. Formal treatment at the asylum was limited to communal baths, typically with relaxing warm water, though cold water was effective for agitated or violent patients. The 12th-century cloister currently serves as a hospice for women with emotional problems. The actual asylum room Van Gogh inhabited was destroyed during renovations several decades ago. Still, this place has a very strong sense.
