Van Gogh Museum

4.8/5
2.1k reviews
•The Van Gogh Museum houses more than 200 of Van Gogh's classic oil paintings, 580 drawings, four sketchbooks, and approximately 750 letters Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. •Let's revisit the arduous journey of this master artist's lifelong pursuit of painting skills and his passion for art and literature. •The old and new museums each have their own unique characteristics, yet they are integrated into one. △The old building was completed and opened to the public in 1973. The Van Gogh Museum was designed by Dutch De Stijl architect Rietveld. The new building was designed by a Japanese architect and completed in 1999. It is mainly used for temporary exhibitions. △The first-floor exhibition hall, titled "A Heart-to-Heart Communication with the Great Artist Van Gogh," guides visitors through a series of works and materials, leading them on a journey through the arduous pursuit of painting mastery throughout his life. The second-floor exhibition hall houses works created by Van Gogh between 1883 and 1889, while the third-floor exhibition displays letters between Van Gogh and his brother Theo. The fourth-floor exhibition hall showcases works created by Van Gogh during his lucid periods, a time of repeated relapses of mental illness, between 1889 and 1890.Netherlands · Amsterdam

It's like a big brick. The square in front is very lively. There are many old cars and I don't know what kind of activities they are doing. It's so crowded that cars can't get out.
