Grand van Gogh Exhibition
September 20 (Sat) 2025 – February 1 (Sun) 2026
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) is one of the Netherlands’ most celebrated painters. Although he is now world-famous and holds an unparalleled place in art history, his life was marked by constant hardship. Even so, he faced adversity with unyielding resolve, finding healing and solace through his art.
This exhibition presents approximately 60 works by Van Gogh from the Kröller-Müller Museum, including “Terrace of a Café at Night,” alongside pieces by contemporaries such as Monet and Renoir. The first phase, opening in 2025—the 30th anniversary of the Great Hanshin–Awaji Earthquake—explores the first half of Van Gogh’s career, tracing his path from his Dutch period through Paris to Arles, leading up to the artist we recognize today. The second phase, opening in 2027, focuses on his later years from Arles to the end of his life and will bring works such as “Bridge at Arles (Pont de Langlois)” to Japan. Together, the two phases, which follow Van Gogh’s life chronologically, will feature approximately 100 works in total.
Opening in Kobe, then traveling to Fukushima—marking 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake—and finally to Tokyo, the exhibition invites you to experience Van Gogh’s artistry and the spirit of an era when painters pursued new art with passion.
