The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam's Museum Square holds the world's largest collection of Vincent van Gogh's work — over 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and 700 letters — tracing the full arc of one of art history's most turbulent and luminous careers. Opened in 1973 and housed in a building designed by Gerrit Rietveld, the museum was built specifically to give Van Gogh's legacy a permanent home, drawing on the vast private collection his brother Theo's family had safeguarded for generations. It is, without question, one of the most emotionally affecting museums in Europe.
