From March 15, 2025 in the Visiodrom

Vincent van Gogh – Longing

A journey through the world of an artist who found beauty in simplicity.

Yellow with yellow and yellow in yellow – for Vincent van Gogh, every single color is more than emotion and sensation. He saw colors as an expression of life and longing.

Our immersive show invites you to immerse yourself in his world and experience the stories behind his works in a new way. In monumental projections, works such as “Starry Night” and “Sunflowers” come to life and merge into Van Gogh’s intense world of color on Europe’s largest 360-degree canvas.

Also learn more about his sister-in-law, the extraordinary Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, whose commitment sent Vincent van Gogh’s works on an unprecedented journey – from the skepticism of his contemporaries to a global recognition that makes his work invaluable today.

The exhibition also pays tribute to Vincent van Gogh’s sister-in-law, the extraordinary Johanna van Gogh-Bonger. It was also thanks to her commitment that Van Gogh, underestimated during his lifetime, became an icon of global art history – his work is of unimaginable value today.

The exhibition

A walk through Vincent’s life

From his early years in the Netherlands and the formative impressions of his time in Paris to his final artistic development in Arles, St.-Rémy and Auvers – the exhibition takes visitors through all the important stages of his life.
There is a lot to experience: Take a seat in the “Café Terrace in the Evening” and experience this masterpiece from a whole new perspective. In “Vincent and I”, you will encounter all of his famous self-portraits in one room and become Vincent van Gogh himself through an impressive staging. Further interesting background information will turn even “art laymen” into real Van Gogh fans.

Scientific expertise

On the research trip to Auvers-sur-Oise, Van Gogh’s last place of residence, and in discussions with the Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam, our creative team deepened their understanding of Van Gogh’s work and his particular world view. The art historian and former museum director Dr. Finckh was always on hand to provide close and intensive advice to the creative team. Dr. Finckh already supported us with his expertise during our Monet exhibition in 2022. Thanks to his in-depth knowledge and passion for art, we were also able to design this new exhibition at the highest level.
