Today’s guest is René Van Blerk, who is the Senior Educator and Senior Curation of Education and Interpretation of the Van Gogh Museum, who helped shape one of the most creative and innovative programs that I've seen in a long time. It's called Vincent's Traveling Case. René wanted to find ways for families to engage with the art they were viewing when they weren’t right in front of it. Museums can be busy, they can get hectic, and you can continue thinking about the stories being told while searching for someplace quiet.
