Description

Discover Eindhoven and Nuenen where Vincent Van Gogh made a quarter of his works and experience yourself the places he painted and sketched. In some places you literally 'walk' through the painting.
This tour has been developed in collaboration with the Van Gogh Village museum in Nuenen and you follow his footsteps in Eindhoven and Nuenen.

You experience the places (visible and now invisible) where his Eindhoven painter friends lived and where he got his painting supplies. You can also see the many places he captured, such as watermills, churches, windmills and nature reserves. Of course, the place where he made one of his most famous works 'The Potato Eaters' is not missing. You will also see the beautiful Van Gogh church opposite the place where he posted his letters to his brother Theo.

The Van Gogh Village Museum Nuenen (included)
An important part of this unique tour is the recently expanded Van Gogh Village Museum in Nuenen. The visit to this beautiful museum includes audio system (Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Japanese). There is no other place in the Netherlands where you can get so close to the painter. Nuenen alone has 14 locations painted or sketched by Vincent van Gogh.

Experience how Van Gogh lived in Nuenen thanks to the wonders of audiovisual technology. See the potato eaters come to life during a multimedia presentation and read the stories by and about Van Gogh. Get to know him as a person and see his development into a world-famous painter.
