Van Gogh Museum

In 1973, the world's greatest collection of works by the famous Dutch impressionist found a home in a white building of curving walls, designed by Gerrit Rietveld. In addition to some 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and watercolors by the master, the exchange of letters between the artist and his brother Theo is also on display here.

Long lines form in front of the paintings all year round, but anybody who stands in front of the early 'Potato Eaters' or the world-famous 'Sunflowers' will regard the time as well-spent. Space has also been made for other painters contemporary with Van Gogh, so the visitor can also admire works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Gauguin and Monticelli.
