Description
The Art Lover's Guide to Amsterdam by Angela Youngman explores Amsterdam, a dream destination for art lovers, attracting thousands of visitors to its stunning museums and art galleries each year. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum house internationally renowned collections featuring iconic works like Rembrandt's Night Watch and Van Gogh's Sunflowers.
Beyond these well-known venues, the city boasts many lesser-known yet stunning art collections, ranging from fluorescent art to cat paintings, murals, and outdoor sculptures, with notable pieces by artists such as Picasso and Keith Haring. There are also many new art destinations to explore, showcasing applied arts in unusual locations. Visitors can discover hidden treasures, including funeral art, WW2 Resistance Art, Jewish art, gargoyle sculptures, cat-themed art, diamond sculptures, and even Van Gogh's Starry Night portrayed in diamonds.
The sheer variety of art-related destinations in Amsterdam is vast. The short distances and excellent transport links make it easy to combine an exploration of Amsterdam with visits to nearby towns and cities such as Haarlem, Rotterdam, Den Bosch, Delft, Utrecht, Volendam, and Amstelveen.
The Netherlands boasts an impressive art history, leading to major art movements like the Dutch Golden Age and De Stijl. This is the country of artistic giants such as Rembrandt, Hieronymus Bosch, Piet Mondrian, Vincent Van Gogh, Frans Hals, Rachel Ruysch, and Vermeer.
