8 cultural sights I travelled in the Netherlands trip (1): Van Gogh Museum

I chose to visit the Netherlands after hearing a friend, a frequent traveller, highly recommend Amsterdam in the Netherlands, and this ‘cycling city’ tempted me.

After returning from this trip, I was so impressed with the Netherlands that I have taken some time to put together a lengthy article listing the unique tourist attractions in Amsterdam and its neighbouring cities, hoping to share them with those who wish to visit the Netherlands on their own, from the perspectives of music, culture and art.

I will separate my original article into eight parts, and here’s the first article introducing the Van Gogh Museum.

Van Gogh is one of the most famous artists in the Netherlands. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam Museum Square houses the most extensive collection of Van Gogh’s works worldwide.

During the museum tour, several paintings made me think deeply. “The Potato Eaters”, regarded as Van Gogh’s most successful work, was criticised from all sides at the time, and even his friends could not appreciate it.
