Van Gogh Museum

About

The Van Gogh Museum is one of Amsterdam’s most popular museums and a must-see for art lovers. Here you can admire the world’s largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh, ranging from famous paintings to personal letters. What’s remarkable is that during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only a few works. Thanks to his family—particularly his sister-in-law Jo van Gogh-Bonger—his art was preserved and his global fame grew. The museum opened its doors in 1973 and has attracted millions of visitors ever since. Today, the museum offers a unique insight into Van Gogh’s life and artistic development, from his early works to his most iconic paintings.
