A wonderful example of a bus stop. 397 great to get to and from the airport for a few euros
Place where bus stop as arrive from Schiphol airport
A good place to catch the 397 to Schiphol airport. There is a shelter, in case it is raining. The next stop, just around the corner near the Rijksmuseum, is likely to be crowded.
The Van Gogh Museum is the second most visited museum in Amsterdam with more than 2 million visitors per year.
Throughout its three floors you will find, among other things, more than 200 original works by the Dutch painter.
Vincent Van Gogh was born in Groot-Zundert in 1853 and, after receiving a careful education in a boarding school, he went through several jobs to discover in painting his true vocation.
With the aim of creating a group of impressionist painters, Van Gogh rented a house where he invited artists with whom he shared interests, including Gauguin.
At Christmas 1888 Vincent had his first mental crisis that led him to cut part of his left ear.
In 1889, Van Gogh voluntarily entered a psychiatric hospital where he remained for a year. During this time he lost touch with reality and a great sadness invaded him.
When his mental state deteriorated further, the artist ended up shooting himself in the chest in 1890. He died two days later at the age of 37. In life he sold only one painting.
