The Art Institute of Chicago has made a recreation of the room featured in Van Gogh’s painting Bedroom in Arles – based on the Dutch artist’s own room in France – and listed it on the home-share site Airbnb. The recreation comes in advance of a new exhibit at the institute entitled Van Gogh’s Bedrooms and it is located a short walk from the institute.

The Airbnb posting lists Vincent Van Gogh as the host and the description says that the room “will make you feel like you’re living in a painting. It’s decorated in a Post-Impressionist style, reminiscent of Southern France and times gone by”.

The room also comes at a very low price, with the explanation: “I’m charging $10 for no other reason than that I need to buy paint. However, I will be happy to provide you with tickets to exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago”.
