A couple of weeks ago I built an art museum in Minecraft for an art history final project. Just a heads up, it's going to be a long post. All of this was built in vanilla the only mod I was running was Optifine, I photoshopped the paintings on their panels later.
The museum is based off of my experiences at the Van Gogh and Monet Immersive Exhibits, so this first room would just be an informational bit about the Impressionist movement and the artists in the exhibit: Van Gogh, Monet, Morisot, Cassatt, Robinson, Frieseke, and Peterson.
The next two rooms are about the European Impressionists, Van Gogh, Monet, and Morisot. The smaller room at the end is meant to be like an immersive experience of some Van Gogh paintings, Bedroom in Arles and Wheatfield with Cypress though I made the cypress a little too wide.
The next two rooms are set up in a similar way to the European artists except for the paintings here were made by the American Impressionists, Cassatt, Robinson, Frieseke, and Peterson. The immersive room here is based on Frieseke's works The Hammock and Unraveling Silk.
And since this whole build was based on the Van Gogh and Monet Immersive experiences I felt like I had to include a little VR area.
The next set of screenshots is of a large immersive room in the center of the museum, here I tried to recreate several different Impressionist paintings.
I think the Impression, Sunrise wall turned out great and I love how the gradient continues on to Cafe at Night and Gare St Lazare.
And of course what kind of museum would this be if there wasn't a gift shop at the end.
And yeah, that's it, that's the build. It's literally just interior, didn't have the time to make a whole exterior and landscape it.

Monet, Degas, Cassatt: artwork on display the Memorial Building, Shelburne Museum, Vermont, USA
During her life, Shelburne Museum founder Electra Havemeyer Webb lived with her husband in a lavish 18-room apartment occupying the top three floors of a building on Park Avenue, one of the choicest streets for the rich and famous in Manhattan, New York City. Many of the rooms were decorated with historic 18th-century furniture and wall paneling originally from English country houses, as Britain's insolvent Lords sometimes took the drastic measure of selling off the effects of their money-guzzling estates in order to save the historic buildings themselves.
When the Park Avenue building was torn down the interiors of the Webbs' apartment were saved and preserved, and after Electra's death in 1960 the Memorial Building was built, modeled after a Greek Revival house in Orwell, Vermont which Mrs. Webb admired. Inside the modern building six of the eighteen rooms are recreated in full, from wall paneling to furniture and various artworks, and the wall paneling alone from two additional rooms decorate the vestibule areas between the rooms, which occupy the two storeys of the Memorial Building.
Electra's mother Louisine Havemeyer (née Elder) was an avid collector of Impressionist artwork during her life, and she commissioned Mary Cassatt to paint a portrait of herself with her daughter Electra in 1895, which Cassatt produced in vivid pastels as they sat for her in her studio. This sitting sparked correspondence friendships between Cassatt and both Havemeyer women which lasted for many years.

It's heartening sometimes to realize how incredibly ordinary historical figures looked. If you watch a bunch of period dramas, you come away thinking that history was made exclusively by shockingly attractive people---when actually, famous poets with burnished names look more like Jim, The Local Bank Manager; artists who broke the mold wouldn't look out of place scrolling through their phone on the subway. You could walk past the absurdly wealthy doyennes of society in the grocery store and never give them a second glance.
