"VanGoYourself" is a cool social media project created by Culture24 and Plurio.net as a part of the Europeana Creative project. Art fans have the opportunity to recreate famous works by artists including Rembrant, da Vinci, Caravaggio, and of course, Van Gogh. The photos are uploaded to the VanGoYourself website or shared elsewhere online (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) with the #VanGoYourself hashtag for the world to see.

There are over 50 works of art to choose from, with the difficulty of recreation ranging from "easy" to "challenging." We may have to get in on this soon, and you should grab a few friends and do the same.
