The Nuenen period is of decisive importance to Vincent van Gogh and determines what he painted in France. The fascinating story of his life in Nuenen, and his search for light, color and perspective, resulting in his first masterpiece The Potato Eaters, is the focus of our museum.
Vincent's Light Lab is part of our museum. Here you can experience for yourself how light and color work. Do you look with your eyes, or with your brain?
Exhibitions
With your own group on a guided tour, you can! You can choose the village walk or the nature walk. Or what you want, both, or a route of your choice. Team Arrangements delivers customization and always thinks along!
Guided walking is also possible by joining a group walk. On Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m., there is always a guided walk from the museum.
In the open-air museum outside, you can also walk by yourself. Then the booklet"On the Trail with Vincent" is handy to use. This is for sale in our museum shop.
