Beyond Van Gogh’s Colour

Step into the vibrant world of Vincent van Gogh and discover the story behind his signature color. To Van Gogh and his fellow artists in the late 19th century, yellow wasn't just a pigment—it was a powerful symbol of courage and a fresh start.

This is the first exhibition of its kind to dive into what yellow truly meant to Vincent and the creators of his time. You’ll even get to immerse yourself in a mesmerizing installation by Olafur Eliasson that lets you experience the color like never before.

Van Gogh’s love for the shade grew while he was chasing the golden sunlight and warmth of Arles in the south of France. We begin the journey with his world-famous masterpiece, Sunflowers, before exploring how this radiant hue captured the imagination of fashion, music, and literature around the turn of the century.
