Without a doubt, this is the most popular museum in the Netherlands and an absolute “must see” for everyone. At the same time, everyone finds something of their own in it. My task is to take a “lifelong walk” with you and reveal the peculiarities of the personality of Vincent Van Gogh, this controversial genius of the 19th century. We will destroy some legends about him with real facts and immerse ourselves in the world of the artist’s unique style.

What you can do:

Understand the artist

Having visited the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, we will trace the life and creative path of the artist. Not everyone understands this artist, but we must realize that the paintings created by him are a reflection of personal experiences and realities of the era in which he lived. I believe that in order to understand Van Gogh’s work more deeply, it is necessary to know him as a person, based on a large number of his letters and life facts. We will definitely do it!In addition, we are waiting for a whole detective story about the loudest and largest robberies that the Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam experienced. And we will also find out to whom the artist owes the worldwide recognition of his work.

The world’s largest collection of Van Gogh paintings, his drafts and letters awaits you. The museum was specially created so that we could appreciate Vincent not only as an artist, but as a very complex person with a tragic fate, to understand his fierce and heroic struggle against circumstances, critics and… relatives. We will find out what kind of relationship he had with his parents, personal life and creative dreams. I will talk about the artist’s search for his own style and his path of self-improvement. You will find out what kind of world this extraordinary person lived and worked in, what his hometown and the Seine embankment looked like in the 19th century, in what other places Van Gogh lived and worked.

All life is in pictures

My tour reveals not only the character of Van Gogh, but also the hidden meaning of his paintings. Why were sunflowers and irises his favorite flowers? Why did he often depict fields with grain crops? Why did his technique and color palette change so dramatically? Why did he cut off his ear and commit suicide? You will definitely know the answers to these questions.

We will make a special emphasis on the last three weeks of the artist’s life, which were the most productive, and we will discuss a topic that still has no clear answer to this day: did he really commit suicide?

And in conclusion, we will fulfill Van Gogh’s biggest dream – we will enjoy his works!

This museum also presents the masterpieces of Van Gogh’s contemporaries – Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Emile Bernard, Pierre Bonnard, Georges Seurat, Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Camille Pissarro, Edouard Manet, Rodin, Degas, etc. In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum hosts interesting exhibitions.
