This image released by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on Thursday shows a painting entitled "The Bedroom," by Vincent van Gogh. One of van Gogh's most famous paintings, it has been taken away for restoration, but art lovers don't have to miss it. They can follow the cleanup on a blog on the Van Gogh Museum's Web site. The 1888 painting of Van Gogh's room in the French city of Arles was one of the artist's favorite works. Museum spokeswoman Natalie Bos said some of the colors have faded. AP photo/Van Gogh Museum
