You'll find a trove of Monets in Chicago as well. It may well be the
best collection of impressionists in the world. Of course New York's Met
has quite a collection as well. However, one of my favorite museum
experiences was NY's MOMA, which is now temporarily relocated. They have
a relatively small collection of impresionists, but it includes Van
Gogh's "Starry Night." That painting is such a powerful icon that
viewing it in person left me speachless.
