ArtOpen until 6pmFrom €25Museumplein (tram 2, 5, 24; bus 357, 397)

The Van Gogh Museum holds the largest collection of Vincent van Gogh's work anywhere: some 200 paintings, 400 drawings and 700 letters, including Sunflowers, The Potato Eaters, The Bedroom and Almond Blossom. Opened in 1973 in a building designed by De Stijl architect Gerrit Rietveld, it was extended in 1999 by an oval exhibition wing by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. The permanent display traces Van Gogh's development chronologically and sets him alongside contemporaries and the artists who followed him. Temporary exhibitions in the Kurokawa wing range from Impressionist retrospectives to Japanese prints and contemporary responses to Vincent's work.
