Philadelphia, PA — The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) are offering several ticket packages that combine the major exhibition Van Gogh Up Close (February 1 – May 6, 2012) and the Philadelphia International
Flower Show (“Hawaii: Islands of Aloha”, March 4 – 11, 2012). Among the options are packaged discounted vouchers for Van Gogh Up Close and the Flower Show; a 10% off discount for Van Gogh Up Close with any online purchase of a ticket to the Flower Show; and the opportunity to purchase a discounted combination ticket for an Early Morning Tour of the Flower Show and Van Gogh Up Close on a day when the Museum is closed to the general public and the galleries will have fewer visitors.
Flowers are a major theme in van Gogh’s work and inspired many of his masterpieces. Lovers of the Flower Show and van Gogh alike may want to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the bounty of blossoms, including those made famous van Gogh and the exotic flora of Hawaii, on view at the Flower Show. These combined experiences will provide the chance to see, at the Museum through the eyes of a genius, roses, ivy, almond blossoms, poppies, hollyhocks, cornflowers, fritillaria, and zinnias, or at the Flower Show, fresh and fragrant blooms in living color.
