Amsterdam, Netherlands
Van Gogh Museum

Everything Van Gogh.

There is an objective sterility in interior décor that can be appreciated as the numerous works of the same painter who painted the famed dreamscape-esque , “The Starry Night”, line the walls of the museum, displaying of the complete vividness in both hues and emotions unleashed unto the canvas by Van Gogh himself. Magnificence is confined in a combination of glass and concrete, that has also found it way into the building’s entrance and other parts that play a more transitory role as intended by the architects, lends an air of contemporary, nouveau riche to the entire experience, which, by being minimal, much the sterility found within it playing silent partner to the paintings, all the more accentuates the astounding art works that is uniquely Van Gogh. From exterior and interior, the very purpose of displaying Van Gogh’s works is realised to maximum and optimal effect, as the clean, unassuming ambience of the museum, unlike its more grand cousins that were former palaces or other places of significance, complements a modern age’s taste that seems to convey that this museum is for Vincent Van Gogh’s works and they are still relevant and just as important even after so many decades have passed.
