Get to Know Van Gogh: Musee Van Gogh
If you’re anything like us, when you hear Van Gogh, you think Starry Night and sliced-off ears. When in Amsterdam, head to the Van Gogh Museum to get to know more about his life, and prepare to be dazzled by his best works, featured here.
The Potato Eaters 1885
Van Gogh viewed this painting as proof that he could be a good figure painter. He wanted to depict peasants as they really were, and deliberately chose ugly models.
The Bedroom 1888
Born in the Netherlands, Van Gogh moved to Arles, France in later years, seeking refuge from drinking. He painted his bedroom in his home, the Yellow House, while recovering from an illness.
Sunflowers 1889
The post-impressionist artist created two series of sunflowers for the purpose of decorating a room in the Yellow House for his fellow painter and friend, Gauguin.
Irises 1890
Van Gogh struggled with mental illness, and painted irises while living in an asylum in France before his death in 1890. He brought emotion to life in his flowers and still lifes.
Wheatfield with a Reaper 1889
Van Gogh painted a series of the view from over the wheatfield from the window of the asylum: the scene after a storm, with a reaper, in autumn, and with spring flowers.

What people are saying about Van Gogh Museum
Had no idea how many Van Gogh works there were!
Went in knowing very little about Van Gogh, but left with great admiration for him and his work.
A great way to access the Van Gogh museum
Just as advertised, this ticket allowed us to enter the museum without wait and without any issues.
Great guide, was she very interesting and great value.
Our guide was excellent. Very informative about the art and Dutch history. Made the tour very interesting. Was good to be able to go straight into the museums. Canal tour was nice break.
Great experience with Rolf at the Van Gogh museum
Rolf was knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. He answered all our questions (and we had many.) He gave us a perspective we would not have had visiting the museum on our own.
Fabulous paintings, good audioguide support
Huge exhibition, covering most of Van Gogh's life. Fabulous paintings and very well hung with interesting commentary in the audio guide. Great special show of his Japanese inspiration. Have heard about it before - first time I understood what it really meant.
