A still of Self portrait with Felt Gray Hat, by Vincent Van Gogh

Enjoy complete and unprecedented access to the treasures of Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum with this fresh new film about one of the world’s favourite artists. 

Marking both a major re-hanging of the Van Gogh Museum's collection and celebrating the 125th anniversary of Van Gogh’s death, this new film allows you to experience the wonder of seeing these masterpieces on the big screen while specially invited guests, including world-renowned curators and art historians, offer their interpretations and explanations of his work.

Beautifully shot and making extensive use of Van Gogh’s own letters this is a wonderful film about a wonderful, but too often misunderstood, artist.
