Galleries & Museums

Van Gogh Museum

Comprising the largest collection of Van Goghs in the world, the museum includes over 200 canvases by the master, providing a fascinating insight into his life and oeuvre. The museum also exhibits an extensive permanent collection of works by other 19th-century artists including Gauguin and Toulouse-Lautrec. The museum is ideally located on Museumplein in Amsterdam, between the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum.

Stedelijk Museum

The museum possesses one of the world’s main collections of modern art and design including works by big names, such as Malevich, Mondrian, Chagall, Matisse, Picasso, Rietveld, Appel and Warhol. Currently in the midst of redevelopment, the greatly anticipated re-opening promises a classic museum with a contemporary platform. During the redevelopment the museum will hold temporary exhibitions in the restored historical building featuring collections of modern and contemporary art and design.

Rijksmuseum

Dedicated to arts, crafts and history, the museum has over 400 masterpieces on display telling the impressive tale of the political, economic and artistic wonder of Holland’s Golden Age. In addition to eighteen works by Rembrandt, other favourite items of the public on display include Vermeer’s famous ‘The Kitchen Maid’, Steen’s depictions of daily life and exquisite Delftware.

Rembrandthuis Museum

Originally a house where Rembrandt painted for a number of years, the museum’s collection provides an almost complete overview of Rembrandt’s graphic work including four original etching plates. The museum also includes the restored Rembrandt’s house – historically accurate, this provides a wonderful opportunity to see where Rembrandt worked.

Hermitage Amsterdam

The new dependency of the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg opened in 2009, with permanent and temporary exhibitions highlighting the art of Russia.

Up & Coming Exhibitions

Van Gogh in the Hermitage Amsterdam

29 September 2012 - 25 April 2013

With the Van Gogh Museum undergoing a major refit from September 2012 through April 2013, a unique presentation space has been found in the Hermitage Amsterdam to accommodate part of the collection during this period. The Hermitage Amsterdam will display around 75 of Van Gogh's paintings, plus a number of his works on paper. The pieces selected for this temporary relocation will perfectly complement the Hermitage Amsterdam's planned autumn exhibition on the impressionists from 15 September 2012 - 15 March 2013. Art lovers will be treated to a magnificent overview of 19th century art by Van Gogh and his contemporaries, in this unique opportunity to experience Van Gogh's works in another setting, in dialogue with the Hermitage Amsterdam's exceptional architecture!
