Van Gogh's Legacy: The Perfect Display

An extraordinary compilation of Van Gogh's creations is exhibited in an excellent museum. Although many of Van Gogh's most celebrated pieces reside in other institutions like the Met and Musee D'Orsay, none offer the expansive range found here, especially the self-portraits and his intense works from his final period. This collection persists thanks to the dedication of his sister-in-law, the family's foresight, the Dutch state's support, and sheer chance. The museum is spacious, well-lit, and narrates Vincent's life story effectively. Crowds are rare due to carefully managed ticket sales, so don't plan to just drop by—book a minimum of three weeks prior, and even sooner for guaranteed entry. The cafes are delightful here, particularly the sunflower cake, and naturally, there's a large gift shop.
