Musée Réattu

 * ... that Van Gogh visited the Musée Réattu upon his arrival in Arles in 1888, and described it as "dreadful and a joke" in a letter to his brother Theo?

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Date, length OK. The hook is confirmed by two offline sources, it is a translation, and even with my very limited knowledge of French, looks OK; certainly AGF.  The article is neutral and I could find no copyvio.  The article is well referenced.  Some of the citations need switching to make them read in numerical order. --Peter I.

 * Comment. Thank you for the review. The first source for the hook is actually online, and includes the original text and a translation. The second is in English and mentions Van Gogh's remark. It was available as preview through Google Books when I created the article, but I cannot see it as part of the preview today. Olivier (talk) 20:04, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
