A visit to the Van Gogh Museum is a unique experience.
The museum contains the largest collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh in the world.
It provides the opportunity to keep track of the artist’s developments, or compare his paintings to works by other artists from the 19th century in the collection.
The museum also holds an extensive offer of exhibitions on various subjects from 19th century art history.
[...]In addition to work by Van Gogh, the museum has a rich and varied collection of other 19th-century art.
The artists represented include Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and others: Van Gogh’s friends and contemporaries, those who inspired him, and those who drew inspiration from him.
