This collection is about Vincent van Gogh’s connection to Brabant. Van Gogh was born in Zundert, a small town near the Belgian border, and lived in the region for the first few years of his artistic career. He considered the region to be a major influence on his artistic development, and often painted scenes from the area. The museum’s collection of Van Gogh’s works includes paintings, letters, and personal documents. Visitors to Brabant can also visit other places that were important to Van Gogh, such as the Vincent van GoghHuis in Zundert and the Van Gogh Village Museum in Nuenen.
