If a museum has a Van Gogh in their collection, you'll almost always know because you'll see an image of it in their museum store -- maybe on a t-shirt, a mug, or an umbrella. Ever wonder how an artist who basically sold only one work during his lifetime is now world famous? Two words -- Johanna Bonger. Museum Guide Bernice Iwamoto joins Rodney to tell us how this 29-year-old woman transformed Vincent Van Gogh's works from unsellable to some of the most well-known images in the world.
