Helene Kröller-Müller, German by birth but
married to successful Dutch businessman Anton Kröller, amassed a collection of over 11,500 art
objects. Her favorite artist was Vincent van Gogh, and she became the
owner of more van Gogh paintings than anyone other than the van Gogh family
itself, nearly 100 paintings and 175 drawings.
About an hour's train ride from Amsterdam is another Van Gogh museum that many travelers to the Netherlands miss. The Kröller-Müller Museum, located in the town of Otterlo, Netherlands in the middle of the Hoge Veluwe National Park, is home to some of van Gogh's most famous and beloved masterpieces. Here are just a few:
Terrace of a Café at Night (Place du Forum)
Four Sunflowers Gone to Seed
L'Arlésienne
Portrait of Joseph Roulin
