Van Gogh Village Museum: exploring light and colour

The Van Gogh Village Museum in Nuenen covers Vincent’s years in Brabant and his surroundings. The presentation links stories with attention to light, colour and perspective, supplemented by temporary exhibitions.

Plan your visit ↗

Understanding a painting

The museum route uses The Potato Eaters (De Aardappeleters), among others, as a subject. See how explanations about looking and making are connected to the work, without expecting the painting mentioned to be present as an original.

Vincent’s Light Lab

According to the museum’s programme, you can experiment with light and colour in the Light Lab. Use the instructions to follow what an action makes visible and how it ties in with the museum’s story.

Searching with children

The trail Op zoek naar Vincent (In Search of Vincent) offers a focused route. On arrival, ask which age group and parts it is intended for and how the available time can be divided.

Before you go

Check Monday opening: in holidays and in summer, a different afternoon schedule may apply. Ask about group conditions and any activity booking in advance; the museum mentions wheelchair-friendly access.
