Head to the Van Gogh Museum to see some of the works of a groundbreaking 19th-century Dutch painter.

Here you can browse the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh’s paintings and learn about his tormented life. The museum also displays works by other master painters of his time, including Monet, Gauguin and Seurat.
