You Can Stay In A Real-Life Replica Of Van Gogh's 'Bedroom' Painting

by Kaylin Pound

When it comes to scoring a sweet place to stay on Airbnb, the possibilities are pretty much endless.

People rent out all sorts of things -- from apartments and castles to igloos built in backyards.

If you're looking for an Airbnb that doubles as a dose of artistic inspiration, I have some good news for you.

You can actually stay in the room from Van Gogh's painting "The Bedroom."

OK, it might not be Van Gogh's actual bedroom, which was located in France. But, the Art Institute of Chicago created a spot-on replica of the room, and that's basically just as good, right?

The room was created to celebrate the museum's latest exhibition, which features all three renditions of Van Gogh's famous "Bedroom" paintings.

This is actually a pretty big deal since it's the first time all these iconic pieces will be displayed together in North America.

According to the Airbnb listing,

This 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. Its furniture, bright colors and artwork will give you the experience of a lifetime.

Sounds like a pretty awesome deal if you ask me.

If you ever dreamed of living like a famous artist, now is your chance.

The Art Institute of Chicago created a seriously impressive replica of the bedroom from Van Gogh's house in Arles, France, and it's located right in Chicago's River North neighborhood.

It's not hard to see everything in this recreated bedroom is pretty spot on...

...from the blue walls and bright artwork to the outdated decor.

The best part is the museum is actually renting this awesome room out on Airbnb...

...and you can even afford it on a starving artist's salary since it only costs $10 a night!
