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
Wonderful day, with excellent venues and in Pieter an outstanding lead
Pieter made an outstanding day so much the better, with his dry, witty comments and his management of the group. We’ve visited many museums/galleries around the world, none better than these two.
It was very easy to use at the museums that I visited
I wish that I could have started the following day since I arrived late in the day and didn't use it for day one.
Our guide's passion for van Gogh and his story was contagious.
Our guide's passion for van Gogh and his work was contagious and enhanced our enjoyment of his work at all the future museums we encountered his work on my trip.
Excellent organization combining history with fun
A highly recommended tour not tiring despite the long duration. Monique our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun taking care of all of us. We enjoyed every minute of our tour if there was one thing to change that would be have a shorter lunch break and add 20 minutes on the Van Gogh museum that was a bit rushed. Great experience thank you
A knowledgeable and approachable survey of Van Gogh
Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Bart. Very knowledgable. Lots of in depth stories and anecdotes made the paintings come to life.
