The Kröller-Müller couple were Dutch nobility and fans of Van Gogh. They collected a large number of Van Gogh's works and planned to build a museum. Later, an economic crisis occurred, and their family went bankrupt. The artworks were donated to the state on the condition that the government would help build the museum and name it after the couple. Due to the large collection of Van Gogh's works, nearly 90 paintings and more than 180 drawings, it is known as 'Van Gogh's second home'. The museum is located in the Hoge Veluwe National Park, which is also called 'Van Gogh Forest Park'. The Van Gogh works here are not considered mature or masterpieces, mostly early works of Van Gogh. You can see Van Gogh's early studies of sunflowers.
Van Gogh House
In 1883, Van Gogh worked and lived in New Amsterdam, Drenthe Province, for more than two months. He came here with the purpose of painting ordinary people, especially agricultural workers. This Van Gogh House is the house where Van Gogh lived at that time, serving as both his bedroom and studio. The scene has not changed, making it seem as if Van Gogh could return at any moment. Van Gogh created about 40 works here. The Van Gogh House preserves 23 letters from Van Gogh, including correspondence with the master painter Gauguin, as well as some illustrated works.
