Few 19th-century artists have captured the imagination quite like Vincent Van Gogh. Whether inspired by his tragic life or his remarkable talent, some one-and-a-half million visitors are drawn to the superb Van Gogh Museum each year. Widely regarded as one of the world’s most important art galleries (it’s also the second most visited museum in the Netherlands), it opened to great acclaim in 1973 and houses the world’s largest collection of Van Gogh paintings. All told, more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and 700 letters from Van Gogh are included in the collection, as well as numerous works and related materials from his contemporaries.
