About
Faits rapides: Walking through the museum feels like stepping into the vibrant world of a post-impressionist genius, with swirling skies and vivid sunflowers captivating your senses. The collection boasts the largest number of Van Gogh's paintings anywhere, including some of his most famous works like The Potato Eaters and The Bedroom.
Points forts: Imagine standing inches away from the artist's original sunflower paintings, each brushstroke swirling with vivid yellow and hints of green, capturing sunlight in a way that almost makes the petals shimmer. The museum houses over 200 paintings and 500 drawings, including Van Gogh's turbulent self-portraits, giving you a raw, almost intimate glimpse into his emotional highs and lows.
