The Van Gogh museum is unique as we are able to dive in the complex mind of a painter in a time of great change. Through the different steps in his career, in Holland, Paris, Arles or Saint Remi we see a dramatic evolution of an artist in constant search for himself and for the world. And this in a carreer that lasted only 9 years. The only advantage about only selling one painting in his whole career is his legacy: An astonishing collection of 200 works that enables us to meet the most puzzling painter of his time.
We will have 2 hours to explore the entire collection. Mostly in small groups there will be space for questions and as the artist still remains a mystery, discussion. More than only a tour about an artist, it is a tour about what it means to be an artist and what approach artists have towards the world that surrounds them.
Join a two hour tour exploring the Dutch Golden Age through the eyes of the most fabulous paintings of the Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals or Jan Steen. By giving historical background information and explaining also the lives of different painters we will be able to sketch a total picture of this incredible century during which Amsterdam from a small fishing village became a world player pioneering international trade and establishing new world order based on new values for a "New World". This exhilarating journey will make the 17th century come alive and speak to you in the way in which it is still relevant today.
Glide along the enchanting Rhine and Moselle rivers on a leisurely journey to the Netherlands, Germany and France. Join a local expert for a tour of Amsterdam. Enjoy a guided tour of Strasbourg. Cruise past charming panoramas as you get to know the culture and deep history of the region.
This trip is perfect if you want to really smash out Europe, safely experience Egypt and if you haven’t travelled much. We got to see so many amazing places and now I have a great idea of where I would go back to. Yes it is very fast paced and you wont do everything you want to but you do 95% of the main attractions of each place and you have people to share the experiences with. You will 100% make friends on these trips if you solo traveler :)

The Stedelijk Museum offers a great journey through time and explores the whole story of modern and contemporary art. How can we find a connection between such different artists as Van Gogh and Jeff Koons? What could bring Monet and Newman together? This is a journey through time, the story of a century and the questions that artists asked themselves. Every room offers a decade of art, a period and a style, but they are not separate from each other. They talk to each other and form a never ending discussion. We can join them in their quest and ask ourselves where will be the art of the future.
This museum also offers temporary exhibitions that you could explore for yourselves after the tour. The tour will last approximately 2 hours.
