The Van Gogh Museum is a relatively young museum, having been established in 1973. However, since then it has spread its wings and rapidly grown into one of the most prominent art museums in the world. Based on its outstanding collection, tremendous research and superior exhibition facilities, the Van Gogh Museum has attained the pinnacle of success in terms of popularity and quality.

Along with the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum is the most well-known museum in Amsterdam. Thousands of tourists flock to its galleries every day.

Moving on, the Van Gogh Museum is splendidly supplied with study corners, libraries, audio-video tours and a food lounge. The libraries have comprehensively covered the entire life and works of Vincent Van Gogh, the acclaimed Dutch artist, along with covering all the major painters and Impressionists of the 19th Century.
