Starry Night in Marbles, Terrapin Chelsea Art Gallery, Chelsea, Manhattan
Next up was the Terrapin Chelsea Art Gallery, a private gallery and home. The original building was constructed in 1853 and was redone by the owners in 2000. The detail and uniqueness of design of this place was amazing. It included a waterfall that trickled down into a scale-model of the Yangtze River which flows through the living room and out to a pool in the back garden. In a child’s room they constructed Van Gough’s Starry Night with marbles on the ceiling. Two cats, Sunset and Sunrise, lazed around the house while the owners manned the kitchen answering questions and receiving praise from visitors.

Starry Night is one of my favorite paintings. I remember in art class one year, i can’t remember what grade, the whole class reconstructed Starry night. each student got a section and then at the end we put it together. It was pretty interesting to see everyone’s different style.
p.s.
http://www.vangoghgallery.com is a great site.
