A Journey Through Genius

Vincent van Gogh, a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter, created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. His works are characterized by bold colors, dramatic and impulsive brushwork, and subjects that are honest and heartfelt. Despite a life marked by mental illness and a lack of commercial success during his lifetime, his art has profoundly impacted the course of modern art. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam houses the largest collection of his works in the world, offering an unparalleled opportunity to understand his artistic development and emotional landscape.

Our mission is to make Van Gogh's life and work accessible to as many people as possible, to inspire and delight them. We believe that art has the power to connect us, to provoke thought, and to offer solace. Through our collection, exhibitions, and educational programs, we strive to bring the vibrant spirit of Van Gogh to life for every visitor.

Must-See Masterpieces

The permanent collection at the Van Gogh Museum is a testament to the artist's prolific output and his remarkable evolution.
