Kröller Müller Museum

Letters and paintings

During his short life, Van Gogh sold only a single work. All his life he was supported by his brother Theo. The collection therefore remained almost completely in the Van Gogh family for many years. Eventually it was sold to the state for 15 million euros. The Van Gogh collection also includes the many letters Vincent van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo and hundreds of drawings. The family had one condition: a Van Gogh Museum had to be built. At the time of the opening, it was assumed that the Van Gogh Museum would attract 350,000 visitors per year. Now it attracts 1.3 million visitors a year  from all over the world!

Living in France

Vincent Van Gogh lived a large part of his short life in France from 1853 until his death in 1890. He started painting in Nuenen in Brabant, and stayed briefly in the Bourinage Belgium, in England, in Antwerp and in Paris. He eventually settled in the village of Auvers sur Oise, where he also found his final resting place. His brother Theo is buried next to him.
