go to the museum as often as you can - it's headline on the one of the wall in Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam.
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam first opened its doors in 1973. The building, designed by Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld, houses the world's largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh: some 200 paintings, 500 drawings and 700 letters, as well as the artist's own collection of Japanese prints.
The museum also has a large collection of works by other nineteenth-century artists: contemporaries and friends of Van Gogh—among them Paul Gauguin and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec—as well as by a number of older artists he admired, such as Léon Lhermitte and Jean-François Millet. A great many of these works were collected by the Van Gogh brothers. Their original collection has been complemented through acquisitions and long-term loans from other institutions. |
