If you’re looking for inspiration for your trip to Holland this summer, you won’thave to look much further than holland.com to find out which events arehappening while you’re visiting. For Van Goghinspired ideas, try theexhibition of contemporary paintings by the artist at the KröllerMüllerMuseum, the Appeltern Festival or a floral portrait of Van Gogh in KeukenhofPark.
Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum is the ultimate place to pay homage to theartist. It’s home to 220 paintings, 500 drawings and 800 letters written byVincent Van Gogh. The permanent collection is entirely dedicated to thisDutch artist but this year the museum will also host an exhibition with theworks of Munch.
Munch: Van Gogh This exhibition is taking place from September 25thto January 17th, 2016 and will pay extensive attention to the similaritiesbetween the two artists and how Van Gogh influenced the work ofMunch.
This is the region of the country where Van Gogh was born and raised, in thesouth. To say the region made a mark on the artists would be a hugeunderstatement. A quarter of the artist’s work is from here, including his firstmasterpiece called, The potato eaters.
True fans will not hesitate to hire a bike and take to the country roads aroundhere. There are several routes that stop at important places along the way,like:
Van Gogh’s House in Zundert, where the artist was bornHis art room at his old school in Tilburg, where he took his first lessonsThe Dutch Reformed Church where Van Gogh’s father was a minister in EttenLeurNorth Brabant Museum is the only place in the area with original Van Gogh works
