If you want to learn more about the place where Vincent van Gogh was born, then this location should be at the top of your to-do list! In addition to the permanent presentation "Vincent van Gogh - The Roots of a Master," there are also ongoing changing exhibitions. These focus on 20th and 21st century artists who were or are inspired by Vincent van Gogh's work and/or life.
Anyone curious about Vincent van Gogh's first steps as an artist should visit this location. Here you will also learn all about perhaps the nine most turbulent months of his life: his decision to become a painter, how hopelessly in love he fell with his cousin Kee Vos, the arguments with his father, his persistence because he believed in his art.
In Nuenen you will get a good idea of the importance of Vincent's Brabant period to his overall oeuvre. And you will learn all about Vincent's first masterpiece The Potato Eaters. A quarter of his life's work was created in Nuenen, including many studies of composition, color and light. In Vincent's Light Lab you can also discover this for yourself.
Of course, you can also visit Brabant for genuine Van Goghs. This museum tells the story of Brabant 's past and present, and its permanent collection includes a dozen high-profile works by Vincent. Letters, photographs, animations and other objects tell of Van Gogh's fascination with farm life and his and connection to his beloved Brabant.
