Don’t miss out on Amsterdam’s wealth of attractions, adventures and experiences
Van Gogh Museum
Few painters have received the widespread popularity and acclaim of Vincent Van Gogh.
One of the most celebrated Dutch artists of all time, Van Gogh is known for his vivid coloring, declining mental health and of course, the famous story involving the removal of his own ear. The Van Gogh Museum was opened in 1973 and has the largest collection of Van Gogh paintings and drawings in the world. Some of the works on display include The Potato Eaters, Bedroom in Arles, The Yellow House and Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers. There are also letters by the painter, early drawings and some notable paintings from Van Gogh’s contemporaries.
