Van Gogh Museum

This spacious museum houses 200 paintings, 500 drawings and 750 letters by the Dutch master Vincent Van Gogh, making it easily the world’s largest collection by the artist. The ground floor has an overview of Van Gogh’s career, while the upper three floors are devoted to the different periods of the artist’s work, liberally interspersed with paintings by his influences and contemporaries, such as Toulouse-Lautrec and Gauguin. Temporary exhibitions, such as the recent Picasso in Paris, are equally compelling.
