A Dutch museum has reunited its full collection of Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings for the first time in more than four decades, opening a major exhibition on September 15. The Kroller-Muller Museum, located in the central Netherlands, is showcasing all 88 of its Van Gogh works in a single display until January.

The collection is among the largest private assemblies of the 19th-century post-Impressionist’s paintings worldwide, though it has rarely been exhibited in its entirety. The museum described the new exhibition, titled “Van Gogh, All Our Paintings,” as one of the largest Van Gogh presentations of this century.

Highlighting the exhibition are key masterpieces such as “The Potato Eaters” (1885), a somber and intimate portrayal of peasant life, along with other notable pieces including “Terrace of a Cafe at Night” (1888) and “The Old Tower at Neunen” (1884).

The exhibition is organized around three central themes—faith, hope, and love—which the museum says were pivotal to Van Gogh’s artistic vision and personal life. Through his work, Van Gogh sought to convey messages of hope and comfort amid his often turbulent existence.

Vincent Van Gogh is regarded as one of the most influential and prolific painters in history, producing roughly 900 paintings during a brief but intense career. Many of his most renowned works, including the celebrated “Sunflowers” series and numerous self-portraits, were created during his time in France.

Van Gogh’s life was marked by significant mental health struggles, culminating in his death at age 37 in 1890, two days after he shot himself in the chest.

The Kroller-Muller Museum’s founder, Helene Kroller-Muller, acquired the collection between 1908 and 1930, amassing a significant portion of these works at a time when Van Gogh’s reputation was still growing. This exhibition offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience the full breadth of her collection and gain deeper insight into the artist’s enduring legacy.
