About the museum
The Van Gogh Museum holds the world’s largest collection of Vincent’s works, from early Dutch paintings to luminous Provence canvases.
Timed-entry tickets manage crowding and often sell out; reserve in advance for your preferred slot.
Combo options can include canal cruises or multi-museum passes — check what’s included and whether a time-slot reservation is still required.
Audio guides in multiple languages add storytelling, technique insights, and music to accompany the galleries.
Browse all options to tailor your visit, from quick highlights to a deep dive with expert guidance.

What to expect at the museum
An intimate, moving encounter with color, brushwork, and the story of an artist who never stopped learning. Here’s a simple plan:
Begin with the early Dutch period to see how Vincent studied the world in earthy tones, then move into the Paris rooms, where light and color surge. Don’t miss Sunflowers, The Bedroom, and Almond Blossom along the way — the audio guide gently ties biography to technique without rushing you.
Finish with the southern years — Arles and Saint‑Rémy — and the final months in Auvers‑sur‑Oise, where fields tilt and skies flicker. Leave time for the letters to Theo; their candid voice lingers long after you step back onto Museumplein.
