The roots of a master

Our permanent exhibition focuses on the youth of the artist. Vincent himself will guide you in an audio tour about his special relationship with his brother Theo and the concerns of his parents. His birthplace Zundert will come to life through projections. You will recognize his love for nature. You will get an insight in the art trade of his uncles, witness his struggle with religion and you’ll discover the fate of the rest of his family.

Vincent van Gogh could become the artist he was partly because of his youth in Zundert. He became an inspiration for many future artists and he even got the nickname ‘Father of modern art’. This is also the subject of the second room in the permanent exhibition. Through a poetic mixture of art and quotes you will discover the huge impact this master has had on numerous artists, as you can see in the works of art on the wall.
