Facts

History

  • Its core collection came from Vincent Willem van Gogh, son of the painter’s brother Theo, who inherited around 200 paintings, 500 drawings and hundreds of letters in 1925.
  • He set up the Vincent van Gogh Foundation in 1962 to safeguard them.

Did you know?

  • Vincent Willem was named after his uncle and was the only child of Theo and Johanna.
  • Sunflowers and Almond Blossom once hung in the living room of his home in Laren.
