Preserving Van Gogh's Legacy Since 1995
Our Story
The Van Gogh Museum France was established in 1995 in Arles, the city where Vincent van Gogh created some of his most iconic masterpieces. Our museum is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the extraordinary period he spent in the South of France from 1888 to 1889.
During his 15 months in Arles, Van Gogh produced over 300 paintings and drawings, including "The Yellow House," "Bedroom in Arles," "Café Terrace at Night," and "Starry Night Over the Rhône." This period marked a revolutionary phase in his artistic development, characterized by bold colors, emotional intensity, and innovative techniques.
Today, we welcome over 50,000 visitors annually from around the world who come to experience Van Gogh's artistic journey through interactive exhibitions, digital galleries, and walking tours of the locations where he painted his masterpieces.
