Van Goghs Draw a Crowd: An exhibit of works by Vincent van Gogh in the Netherlands drew a record 1.2 million visitors over a four-month period, organizers said Monday. People camped out through the weekend in hopes of seeing the show before it closed. The “Vincent van Gogh Retrospective” offered an unprecedented collection of masterpieces from museums and private collections around the world. It closed Sunday, the 100th anniversary of the Dutch artist’s death. Nearly 140 paintings were on display in Amsterdam’s Vincent van Gogh Museum, which houses the world’s largest Van Gogh collection. Simultaneously, 248 drawings were on display at the Kroeller Mueller Museum in Otterlo, about 55 miles east of Amsterdam.
