A visit to the Van Gogh Museum is a unique experience of your visit to Amsterdam. The museum contains the largest collection of van Gogh's paintings in the world. The displays provide the opportunity to keep track of the artist's developments, or compare his paintings to works by other artists from the 19-th century. The museum also holds an extensive offer of exhibitions on various subjects from 19-th century art history.
Permanent collection
The collection features the works of Vincent van Gogh, and the works of other artists. Van Gogh's work is organised chronologically into five periods, each representing a different phase of his life and work: The Netherlands, Paris, Arles, Saint-Remy and Auvers-sur-Oise.
