Vincent van Gogh
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 WAS HERE
Karin Borghouts (BE – 1959) became fascinated by Van Gogh after photographing a reproduction of a painting of him in her parents’ burnt house. This was the beginning of a long journey in the footsteps of Van Gogh. Of course it started in his birthplace Zundert, where she not only captured the church and landscapes, but also made an extensive photo series of the house of Vincent’s godmothers that is being demolished.

Head of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette, Hans de Kort
Hans de Kort (NL – 1963) photographs in the “wet plate collodion” technique. This classic method already existed during Van Gogh’s childhood. De Kort visited the places from Vincent’s youth and captured them with a wooden bellows camera. In addition, he composed still lifes in his studio based on Van Gogh’s paintings of two worker’s shoes, a stuffed flying fox, his father’s bible and the head of a skeleton with a burning cigarette.

HENRIETTE & RICHARD ROLAND HOLST
Het Boek van de Buissche Heide
The Oude Buisse Heide estate near Zundert is connected to the illustrious residents, the writer and politician Henriette Roland Holst (1863-1952) and her husband, visual artist Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst (1868-1938). They spent many summers here. The wild untouched nature, previously described in lyrical terms by Van Gogh, exerted a great attraction on the Roland Holst couple. He found inspiration for his art, she for her poems. Above all, they found peace and space for reflection. On the estate, the couple received numerous colorful guests from the world of art, architecture, literature, science and politics..
