Museum Weekend in Holland

By Linda Tancs

Three of the most significant museums in Holland are in Amsterdam’s Museum Square:  the Van Gogh Museum, the state museum and the municipal museum.  How’s that for convenience?  If you’re like millions of other visitors each year, you’ll want to see Van Gogh’s famous Sunflowers portrait, immortalized in postcards and greeting cards.  Most of his paintings have never left Holland, so viewing his work is a uniquely Dutch experience to enjoy.  During the first weekend in April it’s also uniquely Dutch to visit as many museums as you can–free–thanks to Museum Weekend, now 30 years’ strong.  Over a million visitors attended last year’s event.
