#3No Starry Night though, I wonder how much the MoMA would allow digitalising it

#4On one of the paintings[0] you can see electricity poles that look fairly modern. I didn't realise that was already the case back then!

#6Not very impressive at the painfully low resolution you download the images at. You can zoom in for a larger view, but the website does all it can to prevent users from actually downloading the high resolution image.
Pathetic for a museum.

There's a high resolution (30,000 × 23,756 pixels) picture of it on Wikipedia [1] - thanks to the Google Art project [2]

You can get URLs to the high resolution images using the network inspector. E.g. https://iiif.micr.io/TZCqF/full/1800,/0/default.webp

They look more like telephone poles, and if my google-fu is serving me, it's unlikely that large scale power distribution was around in Paris in 1887:

#10I've been lucky enough to spend some time in Auvers-sur-Oise back in 2012 while at the same time jumping to Amsterdam to van Gogh's museum. It was an interesting experience.
