Together, we preserve his heritage, connect audiences to the places that shaped him, and inspire new generations to experience his story across Europe and beyond.
Van Gogh’s art is inextricably connected to the many places in Europe where he used to live. Many of the landscapes or places that inspired him can still be visited. Think of the wheat fields in Auvers or the psychiatric hospital in Saint-Rémy.
Thanks to Van Gogh Europe, you can follow in the footsteps of the famous artist and visit the places he has been or inspired. Over 20 heritage locations, museums, promotional institutions and educational partners in the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and France are affiliated with Van Gogh Europe.
Together they are committed to preserve and promote Van Gogh’s legacy. Working together as partners, through networking, carrying out projects and supporting each other, the foundation aims to make Van Gogh’s cultural heritage accessible to a wide audience in order to inspire, unite and engage current and future generations.
