Visiting Vincent van Gogh

The Van Gogh House in Nieuw-Amsterdam is the only publicly accessible house in the Netherlands where Vincent van Gogh lived and worked! We're proud of this, and we'd love to tell you all about it during a tour of the Van Gogh House.

In 1883, Vincent lived and worked in the lodging house for two months, serving as his base for his explorations of the peatlands. His goal was to paint the "ordinary" person, particularly the farm laborer. At the Van Gogh House, you can find yourself in the room where Vincent van Gogh stayed in 1883. His bed is still in the same place, the drawing box is open, and the paint palette is ready for use.

Perhaps Van Gogh is taking a long walk through the peat bog, and it seems as if he could return at any moment...
