Van Gogh Museum

The Van Gogh Museum has the world's biggest collection of works by the world's most popular artist, Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), including paintings, sketches, and letters, as well as art by his contemporaries. The Van Gogh Museum receives 1.6 million visitors each year, making it one of the world's top 25 most popular museums. The museum erected a new glass entry hall at the rear of its building in 2015.

The Van Gogh Museum has the world's biggest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh, which is organized chronologically. The Potato Eaters, the Bedroom in Arles, the Sunflowers, and the Wheatfields of Auvers-sur-Oise are among the most notable pieces on exhibit. There are also some self-portraits on display. The museum's collection of works offers an excellent idea of Vincent van Gogh's progress as a painter, from his early days when he painted outdoor views in Drenthe to the vibrant colors of Post-Impressionism in his last paintings, done when he was in a mental hospital in 1890. Aside from 200 paintings and 500 sketches, the museum also houses 700 letters sent by Vincent, mostly to his brother Theo. The museum's new east wing, which opened in 1999, features exhibitions on artists whose lives or works are connected to Van Gogh's.
