The home of Vincent van Gogh’s art
A visit to the Van Gogh Museum is a must on any trip to Amsterdam. The museum houses the world’s largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh, including more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings and over 750 personal letters.
One of the most influential post-impressionist artists in history, Van Gogh needs little introduction. His expressive style and powerful use of colour have made his work some of the most recognisable and celebrated in modern art. Exploring the Van Gogh Museum is an essential cultural experience in the Dutch capital.
Discover the world’s largest Van Gogh collection
Located on Museumplein, Amsterdam’s famous museum square, the Van Gogh Museum sits alongside the Rijksmuseum, the Royal Concertgebouw and the Stedelijk Museum. It is the Netherlands’ second most-visited museum, welcoming between one and two million visitors each year.
The museum consists of two architecturally striking buildings designed by Gerrit Rietveld and Kisho Kurokawa. The Rietveld Building houses the permanent collection, while the Kurokawa Wing is dedicated to temporary exhibitions. Highlights of the collection include Sunflowers (1889), Almond Blossom (1890) and The Potato Eaters (1885).
Van Gogh and his contemporaries
In addition to Van Gogh’s own work, the museum displays artworks by artists who inspired him, worked alongside him or were influenced by his legacy. These include masters such as Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Auguste Rodin and Odilon Redon.
Together, these works provide valuable context and deeper insight into Van Gogh’s life, artistic development and enduring impact on modern art. You’ll discover not only his masterpieces, but also the story of the world that shaped them.
