Van Gogh Museum

The Van Gogh Museum, located on Museumplein next to the Rijksmuseum and Stedelijk, is home to the largest collection of Vincent Van Gogh's artwork. The museum was founded in 1973 by Van Gogh's nephew, the son of his brother Theo. The collection boasts around 200 paintings, 500 drawings and almost all of his letters. Some of the most notable pieces on display are the Sunflowers, the Almond Blossom, the Irises, The Potato Eaters, The Bedroom and the Wheatfield With Crows. The collection also includes other artists such as impressionist painters and members of Les Nabis group. For the best experience, work your way from the bottom floor up. In addition to the exhibition, the museum provides other activities, such as Friday evening events, Sunday lectures and workshops.
