All about the Van Gogh Museum
There is a museum in Amsterdam dedicated to Van Gogh, one of the world’s most famous painters and the symbol of the city. Although Van Gogh was able to sell only one work during his lifetime, he is remembered with great interest and respect today.
In this article, we will share all the details about the Van Gogh Museum and Van Gogh, and we will answer questions such as how to buy a Van Gogh Museum ticket and what are the types. Since our article is quite long, you can go directly to the Van Gogh Museum Ticket and entrance fee section below.
Vincent Van Gogh painted 900 paintings and 1100 drawings in just 10 years (between 1880 and 1890). Located in the Museum Square, this museum contains around 200 paintings and 500 sketches of Van Gogh. The letters Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo (about 800 in number) are also exhibited in the museum. The museum also includes works by painters inspired by Van Gogh. Since painting exhibitions are also included in the museum from time to time, you also have the opportunity to visit them. We begin our article with the life story of Van Gogh.
The Life of Van Gogh
Van Gogh was born in 1853 in a village in the Netherlands’ Brabant Region. Van Gogh, who did not have a valid profession until the age of 30, started painting with the help and support of his brother Theo after this age.
The famous painter, the pioneer of Contemporary Art, meeting Paul Gauguin, one of the famous painters of the period, was a turning point in his life. The two start painting together for a while. But because they use different techniques, they are constantly arguing. In 1888, as a result of the argument, Gauguin leaves the house. Fearing that Gauguin will leave him, Van Gogh cuts off the tip of his earlobe and sends it to Gauguin. Seeing this, Gauguin does not meet with the artist again. Of course, these events are not proven events. In fact, a German art historian recently claimed that Gaugin cut off Van Gogh’s ear, and recently it has been claimed that Van Gogh cut off his ear completely. All we know is that the ear was cut off.
The artist, left alone after his fight with Gaugin, is admitted to a mental hospital when he begins to hallucinate. The painting “Starry Night” in 1889 is an exaggeration of the sky he sees in the hospital window. The artist, who was discharged from the hospital after recovering, remained under the supervision of a doctor. He committed suicide in mid-1890 and died in his brother’s arms at the hospital. Being an intelligent person, Vincent suffered from extreme depression. His indecisive mind enabled Van Gogh to create his magnificent art, but it also led to his tragic suicide.
6 months after Van Gogh’s death; His brother Theo, who was already weak due to illness, also passed away. Providing financial/spiritual support to Van Gogh, who made Van Gogh’s works come to this day, and who could not earn any money; perhaps it is his brother Theo who, along with his wife, is the only one aware of his talent. After Theo’s death, he preserved the works of his wife, Jo Van Gogh, compiled his correspondence with Theo and strived for this until his death in 1925.
Van Gogh Museum Sections
In 1962, his family donated all his works to the Van Gogh Foundation . The paintings were exhibited in the Stedelijk Museum until a new building was built in 1973. When the Van Gogh Museum, designed by Gerrit Rietveld, was built in 1973, the works were moved here.
The museum consists of a main building and an annex. The main building has 3 floors, not counting the ground floor , and it also has a basement. The important works of the artist are on the first floor.

Featured Works of Van Gogh
As we mentioned in the introductory part of our article; The artist has about 900 works, 200 of which are in the Van Gogh Museum. At the bottom of our article, there is a 1-hour video with a slide show of all the works in the Videos We Selected section. Here, we have included the review of selected works from the main works and at the end of the section, we have made resource suggestions for you. Lets start.
Potato Eaters (1885)
This canvas is considered Van Gogh‘s first masterpiece. Van Gogh had planned the painting of the Potato Eaters long in advance and sketched it many times. The work was inspired by the lives of peasants in the Netherlands. Van Gogh lived with them for a while and aimed to get the painting right.
Potato Eaters Painting Analysis – Van Gogh Museum Ticket, Amsterdam, Netherlands
In the work, five figures sitting around the table are eating potatoes. Three of them are women and two are men. The work is realistic and natural as it depicts the daily life of five villagers. Most of the figures in the picture are eating a baked potato from a potato tray. The woman at the far right of the picture pours coffee from a teapot into the cups on the table. She wears hats, scarves, thick and long clothes, that’s all.
The oil lamp is placed almost in the middle of the picture and illuminates the room. Figures in a dark room were painted with the light coming from the oil lamp. Although dark and gloomy colors dominate the painting, the facial expressions of the villagers are brightly colored and reveal their mixed inner feelings. Their expressions don’t look very serious and happy. It is clear that Van Gogh is trying to portray the ordinary, poor and difficult lives of the villagers in this work. The whole picture is actually one color. In other words, the colors used are mainly dull colors such as brown and black, which gives the painting a depressing and melancholic feeling. The earthy tones are reminiscent of the rough and sunburned faces of the villagers.
The ceiling is low and close to the peasants, and the room is small and poor, creating a feeling of pressure in this work. These factors also contribute to the melancholic atmosphere in the painting.
The work is on display at the Van Gogh Museum on the 1st floor.
Sunflowers – Sunflowers (1887)
Vincent Van Gogh made a total of 12 different Sunflower works (7 in Arles and 5 in Paris). Van Gogh first painted sunflowers in the summer of 1886. Two years later, his interest resurfaced after settling in Arles, just north of Marseille’s Provence region. At the invitation of Impressionist French artist Paul Gauguin to join his Southern Studio, he began painting sunflowers to brighten the whitewashed interiors of a yellow house he rented in Lamartine, not far from town.
Sunflower Painting – Van Gogh Museum
Some of the sunflowers in the work are lively and cheerful, decorated with flame-like leaves. Others are those that are seeded and have begun to droop. These different colors add harmony to the painting and reflect different phases of life, youth-maturity period-old age together. Recently, a painting from Van Gogh’s Sun-Flowers series was auctioned for $39.5 million, breaking a record. However, Van Gogh had hoped to sell it for $125 and failed.
The work is on display at the Van Gogh Museum, but many works of the series are exhibited in different parts of the world.
The Starry Night (1889)
This work is not currently exhibited in the Van Gogh Museum, but we wanted to tell you because it is perhaps one of Van Gogh’s most magnificent works. The Starry Night is one of Gogh’s most important works, which he painted in oil with the village of Saint-Remy-Provence and the stars on it, from the window of his room while he was in the hospital. In Starry Night, the sky is filled with swirling clouds, shining stars and a bright moon. The rotating brushstrokes create a dot-to-dot effect, guiding the viewer around the painting with the spaces between the stars. The village is peaceful and calm compared to the sky. The bell tower of the church dominates the village and symbolizes unity in the city and gives a sense of isolation. According to one view, Van Gogh identified himself with the cypress/cypress tree in front of the work.The cypress is a tree found in many of Van Gogh’s paintings.
Van Gogh – The Starry Night – The Starry Night – Van Gogh Museum Entrance Fee & Ticket
In this work, the cypress tree is the most prominent element of the painting, but it is also the most obscure part, a dark presence in contrast to the brightly colored stars. We can think that this work was painted at a very bad time in Van Gogh’s life and that the cypress tree was matched with Gogh’s emotions. The brush strokes are largely unbroken, long and free; this creates a bridge between the sky, the cypress trees and the town. Bold, distinctive brushstrokes have been used to dramatize the movements of the stars, clouds, and moon. According to some views, there is hope in this work. The painting also portrays the painter’s passion that the strong sky creates over the quiet village during the night.
Van Gogh painted this work one year before his suicide-induced death. The cypress tree is often found in cemeteries, a different interpretation of this artifact is religious. The sky represents heaven and the afterlife; the dark earth describes this world. There are art historians who are of the opinion that Van Gogh refers to the Bible with the 11 stars he painted.
Where is Van Gogh – The Starry Night ?
The original The Starry Night is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York.

Yellow House (1888)
The work depicts the building where Van Gogh stayed for a time in Arles, France. Gogh wanted to set up a studio at home and invite his fellow painters. The building was an ideal place for painting. It was located in a quiet street. Paul Gauguin remained here for 9 weeks. The fight, which started with Vincent Van Gogh’s argument with Gauguin, resulted in Van Gogh amputating his own left earlobe. All we know is that after this incident Vincent Van Gogh was hospitalized and Paul Gauguin left Arles. They never met again.
Van Gogh- Yellow House – Yellow House- Van Gogh Museum Online Ticket
There are two distinct dominant colors in the work. The pale yellow of houses and roads and the deep blue of the sky. This contrast, which contrasts with the dark color in the upper part, makes the viewers turn towards the house in the center of the picture. An everyday scene is depicted in bright sunlight, but we can see the thick, short strokes of paint that later became Van Gogh’s distinctive and popular style.
Van Gogh was one of the first Dutch painters to disregard the established standards and go his own way, which led him to this distinctive style. There will be those who wonder if the yellow building is standing now. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the Second World War.
The work is currently on display at the Van Gogh Museum.
Wheatfield with Crows (1890)
Art Historians accept that this work is the “last work” of Van Gogh before he died, although it is not a definitive finding . It is even claimed that it was made 1-2 weeks before his death.
Wheat Field and Crows – Van Gogh Museum Ticket Types
Partly for this reason, the artist’s suicide clues are sought in this work. Let’s examine that period together. At the beginning of July 1890, Vincent Van Gogh went alone to Paris to stay with his brother and wife, Jo. His brother Theo was in poor health and had serious financial problems, a cause of great concern for Van Gogh, who was conscious of the burden on his family and brother. Also, his nephew Vincent was sick and his wife Jo was also suffering from exhaustion. Van Gogh quickly returned to Auvers, after which he fell into depression. In a note he wrote during the making of this painting / shortly before his suicide, Van Gogh describes his mood: “I went back there, got to work. The brush almost fell out of my hand…” .
Below is a current photo of the fields depicted in this painting:
Wheat field in Auvers-sur-Oise, painted by Van Gogh – Image Source / Source
Van Gogh used strong color combinations in this painting. The blue sky contrasts with the yellow-orange wheat, while the red of the road is intensified by the green bands of grass. The menacing sky, crows, and dead-end road are thought to refer to the end of his life, and Van Gogh’s wheat fields under stormy skies and “sadness and extreme loneliness” are thought to be describing the threatening end of his life. But, as we mentioned, perhaps these meanings are attributed as it is the artist’s last work before suicide. We don’t know.
The work is on display at the Van Gogh Museum on the 3rd floor, do n’t leave without seeing it.
Almond Blossom – Blooming Almond Tree (1890)
Almond Blossom in Bloom – Almond Blossom- Van Gogh Museum Tickets
Van Gogh made this piece on the occasion of the birth of his nephew Vincent. The buds in the work represent a new beginning, birth and happiness. Van Gogh asked his brother Theo to hang this work by his nephew’s bedside, and Theo hung the painting by little Vincent’s bedside. Like many of Van Gogh’s paintings, The Blooming Almond Tree was influenced by Japanese prints.
Bedroom in Arles – Bedroom in Arles (1888)
When Van Gogh first arrived in Arles, he found accommodation in a hotel, but immediately found it so expensive. It was cheaper and much more ideal for him to rent a house where he and Gaugin could eat, sleep and paint. He finally found the house called the Yellow House. This work belongs to Van Gogh’s bedroom in the Yellow House.
Bedroom in Arles – The Bedroom in Arles – Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
Research has shown that the strong colors we see in this work today are the result of discoloration over the years. The walls and doors, for example, were originally purple rather than blue. The seemingly odd angle of the rear wall is not an error of Van Gogh. The corner is really crooked. Although it may seem that the rules of perspective are not applied correctly throughout the picture, this is a conscious choice. Vincent told his brother Theo in a letter for this work that he had deliberately “flattened the inside” and cast his shadow so that his painting would resemble a Japanese print.
There are 3 versions of this picture. One version is at the Van Gogh Museum, another at the Orsay Museum in Paris, and another at the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago.
Self Portrait Paintings of Van Gogh
The artist has works in which he painted his own portrait in the Van Gogh Museum. Although located in The Courtauld Gallery, London, the most famous of these is the portrait with the ear bandage and the gray hat. In addition, another self-portrait by Van Gogh with his ear cut off and a pipe in his mouth belongs to the private collection of Philip Niarhos.

‘Netherlands’ Stonehenge’ Discovered: 4000-Year-Old Graveyard and Glass Beads From Mesopotamia Found
In the Netherlands, where excavations were started in 2017, a discovery was made that sheds light on history.
The ruins found in the region were an area determined to have been built about 4000 years ago and used for religious ceremonies. A tumulus in which 60 people were buried and a single glass bead produced only in the Mesopotamian region at that time were unearthed in the area.
Cemetery used as sundial:

The 20-meter-diameter tumulus, which was built by piling up soil and hosting the remains of 60 men, women and children, also contained some passages. The task of these passages was quite different.

The people of the time had built the gateways so that Sunlight would shine through them on the longest and shortest days. At the same time, the tumulus itself served as a sundial . It was shared that thanks to this watch, people can follow important times such as festivals and harvest times.
Moreover, this was not the only tumulus found. Scientists discovered two more small tumuli nearby. It was determined that these three tumuli were used as a cemetery for 800 years .
Another surprise points to Mesopotamia:
Another discovery made in the region was a glass bead produced in Mesopotamia 4000 years ago . Scientists stated that the glass bead was not produced in the Netherlands, but was brought to the region from Mesopotamia after a 5,000-year journey.

In this article, we will take a closer look at the unique characteristics of Dutch architecture and explore some of the most iconic buildings in the country.
One of the defining features of Dutch architecture is its focus on functionality and practicality. Dutch architects have always prioritized the needs of the people who will use the building, whether it is a residential house or a public space. This approach has led to the creation of spaces that are not only visually striking but also functional and comfortable.
One of the most iconic examples of Dutch architecture is the Amsterdam Canal Houses, which date back to the 17th century. These narrow, tall houses were built along the canals of Amsterdam and are characterized by their gabled facades, ornate decorations, and stepped roofs. They were designed to maximize the limited space available in the city center and to create a sense of grandeur and wealth for their owners.
Another important period in Dutch architecture is the Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This style was characterized by its use of flowing lines, floral motifs, and intricate decorations. The most famous example of Art Nouveau architecture in the Netherlands is the Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht, designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1924. This house is a masterpiece of modernist architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the post-World War II period, Dutch architecture underwent a radical transformation with the emergence of the Dutch Structuralism movement. This movement rejected the modernist emphasis on form and function and instead focused on the underlying structure of the building. The most famous example of Dutch Structuralism is the Centraal Beheer building in Apeldoorn, designed by Herman Hertzberger in 1972. This building features a modular design and an open-plan layout, which was a departure from the traditional office building.
Centraal Beheer
In recent years, Dutch architecture has continued to evolve with the rise of sustainable design and the use of new technologies. The Rotterdam Market Hall, designed by MVRDV, is a prime example of this trend. The building features a stunning arched roof and an innovative system for collecting rainwater, which is then used to irrigate the surrounding park.
Rotterdam Market Hall
In conclusion, Dutch architecture is a rich and diverse field that spans centuries and encompasses a wide range of styles and movements. From the ornate Canal Houses of Amsterdam to the modernist Rietveld Schröder House and the sustainable Rotterdam Market Hall, Dutch architecture continues to inspire and captivate people from around the world.
In the Netherlands, tipping is not a compulsory practice, but it is always appreciated if you are happy with the service provided. Unlike other countries, where tipping is often expected, in the Netherlands, it is not customary to tip more than a few euros, and sometimes, not at all. In this article, we will explore the tipping culture in the Netherlands and provide you with some guidance on when and how much to tip.
First of all, it is important to note that service charges are typically included in the prices of food and drinks in the Netherlands. This means that the total amount you see on your bill already includes a service charge, which usually ranges from 5% to 10%. In most cases, this means that there is no need to leave a tip on top of the service charge. However, if you received excellent service, you are always welcome to leave a little extra.
When it comes to restaurants, a good rule of thumb is to leave a 5-10% tip if you are satisfied with the service. This is especially true if the server went above and beyond to make your dining experience memorable. However, it is not necessary to tip if you were not happy with the service. In this case, it is better to speak to the manager or owner and let them know what went wrong.
It is also worth noting that many Dutch people round up their bill when paying in cash. For example, if your bill is €18.50, you may choose to pay €20 and let the server keep the change as a small tip. This is a common practice and shows your appreciation for the service provided.
When it comes to bars and cafes, tipping is not expected, but again, it is always appreciated. If you are happy with the service, it is common to leave a euro or two per drink. However, if you are paying for a round of drinks for a group of people, it is not necessary to leave a tip for each individual drink.
Finally, when it comes to other service providers such as hairdressers, taxi drivers, and hotel staff, tipping is not expected, but it is always appreciated. A small tip of a few euros is a nice gesture to show your appreciation for the service provided.
In conclusion, tipping in the Netherlands is not compulsory, but it is always appreciated if you are satisfied with the service provided. Service charges are usually included in the prices of food and drinks, so tipping is not always necessary. However, leaving a small tip of 5-10% in restaurants or rounding up your bill in cash is a common practice and a nice way to show your gratitude. Remember, if you were not happy with the service, it is better to speak to the manager or owner rather than leaving a poor tip.

May 1 is a public holiday in the Netherlands? May 1st, also known as Labor Day or “Dag van de Arbeid” in Dutch, is an official public holiday in the Netherlands. This day is dedicated to honoring the contributions of workers and celebrating the labor movement. Here’s a closer look at how the Dutch celebrate Labor Day and what this holiday means to them.
History of Labor Day in the Netherlands The origins of Labor Day can be traced back to the late 19th century, when workers across Europe began organizing and fighting for better wages, working conditions, and labor rights. In the Netherlands, Labor Day was first celebrated in 1890, with workers organizing parades, rallies, and other events to promote their cause. Over the years, Labor Day has become an important symbol of the Dutch labor movement and a reminder of the struggles and achievements of workers throughout history.
Celebrating Labor Day in the Netherlands On May 1st, many Dutch people take the day off work to celebrate Labor Day with friends and family. Some may attend parades or rallies organized by labor unions or political parties. These events often feature speeches, music, and other forms of entertainment, and they provide a space for workers to come together and celebrate their solidarity and achievements.
In some cities, special Labor Day markets are held, where workers and craftspeople sell their wares and showcase their skills. These markets offer a chance for people to support local businesses and learn more about the work that goes into creating handmade goods.
Other Dutch people may choose to spend Labor Day relaxing at home, enjoying a barbecue or picnic with loved ones, or simply taking a break from the stresses of work. For many, Labor Day is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of labor rights and the ongoing struggle for fair and equitable working conditions.
Labor Day Traditions in the Netherlands One of the most iconic Labor Day traditions in the Netherlands is the “mug cake.” This simple dessert is made by mixing flour, sugar, and milk in a mug and then cooking it in a microwave. The tradition of eating mug cakes on Labor Day dates back to the 1930s, when workers who couldn’t afford expensive pastries began making their own cakes at home. Today, mug cakes remain a beloved part of Labor Day celebrations in the Netherlands.
In conclusion, May 1st is an important public holiday in the Netherlands, dedicated to celebrating workers and their contributions to society. Whether attending parades and rallies, enjoying a mug cake, or simply taking a day off to relax, Labor Day provides an opportunity for Dutch people to come together and reflect on the importance of labor rights and fair working conditions.
Green and Sustainable: The Netherlands Garden Management. The Netherlands is well-known for its beautiful gardens and green spaces. But what many people may not know is that behind the beauty lies a highly regulated and sustainable approach to garden management. The Dutch take their gardens seriously, and for good reason. A well-managed garden not only looks beautiful, but it also contributes to the health of the environment and the well-being of the people who enjoy it.
One of the key principles of garden management in the Netherlands is sustainability. This means that gardens are designed and maintained in a way that minimizes harm to the environment and supports biodiversity. For example, many gardens in the Netherlands use native plants that are well-suited to the local climate and require less water and maintenance. This not only helps to conserve water resources but also provides habitats for local wildlife.
Another important aspect of garden management in the Netherlands is water management. As a low-lying country with a high water table, the Netherlands is prone to flooding. Gardens are designed to help manage rainwater runoff, which can help prevent flooding and waterlogging. This may include features such as rain gardens, green roofs, and permeable paving. These features help to absorb rainwater and allow it to filter back into the ground, rather than running off into the streets and sewers.
In addition to sustainable design, garden management in the Netherlands also involves regular maintenance. Many gardens are managed by professional gardeners who are trained to use sustainable techniques and practices. This may include tasks such as pruning trees, trimming hedges and bushes, and mowing the lawn. Regular maintenance helps to keep the garden healthy and beautiful while also supporting biodiversity.
Overall, garden management in the Netherlands is a holistic approach that prioritizes sustainability, biodiversity, and professional maintenance. This approach not only benefits the environment but also contributes to the health and well-being of the people who enjoy these spaces. The Netherlands’ commitment to sustainable garden management is a shining example of how we can create beautiful and functional spaces while also protecting the planet.
