Collection of the Van Gogh Museum

The Van Gogh Museum houses the world’s largest collection of artworks by Vincent van Gogh, and owns more than 200 paintings and 500 drawings. Part of this collection are world famous paintings like Sunflowers, Almond Blossom and The Potato Eaters. After Vincent van Gogh’s passing, his works were managed by his brother Theo and his wife Johanna van Gogh-Bonger. Their son, and Vincent’s nephew, Vincent Willem, founded the Vincent van Gogh Foundation in 1962. Together with the State he built the Van Gogh Museum, in which the family collection was placed on permanent loan to make sure that it got managed and preserved for future generations.

Vincent wrote many letters to his brother Theo, like the one shown below mentioning the famous painting ‘The Potato Eaters’. These can also be read at the Van Gogh Museum.
