Van Gogh Museum Information

The Van Gogh Museum is situated at the Museumplein in between Stedelijk Museum and Rijksmuseum. Opened in 1973, it is an art museum dedicated to the works of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh and some of his contemporaries.

After undergoing renovations in 1998-1999, an exhibition wing (Kurokawa Wing) was added to the main structure, called the Rietveld Building.

The museum houses the largest Van Gogh collection in the world, comprised of 200 paintings, 400 drawings, and 700 letters by the visionary. It is the most visited museum in the Netherlands and the 23rd most visited art museum worldwide.

The permanent collection at the Van Gogh Museum, located inside the Rietveld Building, includes nine of the artist’s self-portraits and other famed works, such as The Potato Eaters (1885), Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette (1886), Wheat Field with a Lark (1887), The Yellow House (1888), and Sunflowers (1889).

The museum also features distinguished works by the artist’s contemporaries in the Impressionist and post-Impressionist movements. Other pieces at the Van Gogh Museum include sculptures by Auguste Rodin and Jules Dalou, and paintings by Émile Bernard, Maurice Denis, Claude Monet, and Georges Seurat.

ChristinaW Dec 13, 2012 3.0 stars Small but lovely museum The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is a must-see, especially if you are an art lover. It is surprisingly small, but it does a wonderful job of showcasing the work of Van Gogh throughout his lifetime. It is always wonderful to be able to see the original paintings by an artist of such prestige. My favorite part about the museum, however, is actually the part that has the least amount of Van Gogh in it. They do a really wonderful overview of his work in a greater art historical context, highlighting the artists who influenced his work and showing those artists who were later influenced by Van Gogh's work. It is a really lovely way to put Van Gogh in a larger picture and adds a great deal of value the overall museum experience.

Audrey Sykes Dec 12, 2012 4.0 stars For art lovers or enthusiasts, it's a must I always tell people that this is the ultimate beginner's intro to art. I'm not an art expert, but Van Gogh is a must for many, and there are a dozen reasons as to why. The place is organized in chronological order, which makes it super easy to wrap your head around. It's not too overwhelming with information or art display, which makes it understandable, and quick. Before you know it you've been there an hour already. I hear many times that people come here after they smoked weed for the first time, or even when they're tripping on mushrooms. I can't say that being under the influence makes ME appreciate it more, but it seems like a trend that hasn't quit for, decades? I think it's the best for art in the city, but then again I love the artist.

Craig Becker Dec 9, 2012 3.0 stars Compact but put packed Whether you're an art buff or just an interested layperson (like me), there's something for everybody at the Van Gogh Museum. Located in the heart of Museumplein, the building itself looks small from the outside but I assure you it is densely packed with paintings, sketches, and various other pieces in assorted mediums by Van Gogh, his contemporaries, artists who inspired him, and artists inspired by him (though the majority of pieces are of course by Van Gogh himself). The top floor has a great small computer room with a tremendous amount of biographical information and primary sources (letters of correspondence, etc.) that you would do well to check out if you're interested in Vincent as not only an artist but as a person.

Jody Pollara Dec 3, 2012 4.0 stars Must-See in Amsterdam There are a handful of museums in Amsterdam that are just amazing, and this is one of them. Even if you are not an art fanatic, this museum offers an interesting look into Van Gogh's life and history and he was one interesting guy. One part of the museum that stands out in my mind is an exhibit about the tools that Van Gogh used. In order to save supplies, he would sometimes paint on the back of canvases he had already painted on, or just paint over paintings that he had already done. They exhibit showed how modern technology was being used to actually uncover the paintings that he had painted over. I just found the entire thing so interesting. This is a museum you must go to in Amsterdam.

Gabriel Larkman Aug 8, 2012 2.0 stars A Bit DIsappointing I went to the Van Gogh museum for one specific reason - to see Starry Night. After a 40 minute wait in the freezing Dutch cold I finally got inside, and Starry Night was nowhere to be found. Van Gogh does have a lot of other cool pieces and I learned a lot about him, but I wanted to see Starry Night. Turns out it's in France. But if you want to look at strange japanese-style paintings as well as paintings of cats and absinthe, this is the place for you.
