In [[2010]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Amy Pond]] visited the museum's Van Gogh exhibit. In Van Gogh's painting "''The Church of Auvers-sur-Oise''", they noticed a [[Krafayis|face]] at one of the windows. This prompted them to go back in time to see Van Gogh. After a few days, the Doctor and Amy returned with Van Gogh in tow. They returned to the exhibit and the Doctor questioned [[Dr Black]] as to his thoughts on Van Gogh. Telling them that he thought of Van Gogh as the greatest artist of all time, Black pushed Van Gogh to tears. After taking Van Gogh back to his own time, the Doctor and Amy returned once more to see if anything had changed. Only two things had; there was no more creature at the window of the church, and his "''Vase with Twelve Sunflowers''" was dedicated to Amy. ([[DW]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor]]'') | ||

In the year [[3110]], the museum was run by a [[Silurian]]. The Doctor saved the museum from a giant amoeba that liked the taste of paint, and in return was allowed to select one painting to keep. He chose his favourite painting, [[The Pandorica Opens]], by Vincent van Gogh. The museum had called it, ''"Blue Box Exploding"''.
