Van Gogh Museum exhibitions 2024
Matthew Wong | Vincent van Gogh: Painting as a Last Resort
Dates: March 1 to September 1
What it’s about: You can see Van Gogh's influence in the intense colors, bold brushstrokes, and the personal themes Wong explored in his paintings. This exhibition dives deep into the artistic bond between these two artists. Both Van Gogh and Wong had a long, winding road before finding their true calling. They also both battled mental health issues, which sadly led to their early deaths. Both created deeply personal and emotionally charged works in their own styles. Matthew Wong | Vincent van Gogh: Painting as a Last Resort is the first major European showcase of Wong's work.
Collection highlights: Path to the Sea, Unknown Pleasures, A Walk Through Primordial Garden, Valley, Night Crossing, Somewhere, The Journey Home, The Night Watcher, Footprints in the Wind, Time After Time, Dark Reverie, and A Dream.
Jeff Cowen & Vincent van Gogh
Dates: June 22 to October 13
What it’s about: Van Gogh lived in Provence in the late 1800s, and it inspired his art. Now, over 130 years later, the photographer Jeff Cowen is feeling the same magic evoked by Provence! Both Van Gogh and Cowen capture the power and beauty of nature. They show us everything from giant mountains and fields to tiny details on leaves and fruit. Van Gogh used bright colors and black-and-white drawings of the southern French landscape, while Cowen made large analog prints and even got creative with the chemicals during the photo development process to make each one special.
Collection highlights: P44 and Diptych.

Anselm Kiefer - Sag mir wo die Blumen sind
Dates: March 7 to June 9
What it's about: This Anselm Kiefer spring exhibit in 2025 is all about this German artist who's been obsessed with Van Gogh since he was a child. He also has a long history with the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, which bought and displayed his work from the beginning. Openly criticizing Germany's infamous history, Kiefer's works have themes of history, mythology, alchemy, and the effects of war. And now, Kiefer has created some never-seen-before works exclusively for this exhibit. For the first time, you get to see all of Kiefer's works alongside Van Gogh favorites. This exhibition is divided between two museums: you get one ticket to see both places! At the Van Gogh Museum, you'll see some of Van Gogh's masterpieces alongside Kiefer's works. Over at the Stedelijk, you'll get a Kiefer overload, including a brand new piece called Sag mir wo die Blumen sind.
Collection highlights: Sag mir wo die Blumen sind, Innenraum, The starry night, Voyage au bout de la nuit, and Van Gogh's Wheatfield with Crows.
