Next time your in the Netherlands, check out the Kröller-Müller museum. Its collection was created by an art lover who was one of the first to appreciate van Gogh. Although its collection is a bit smaller than that of the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, it is, I think, of a higher quality.

Kroller-Muller also has a great Mondriaan collection. Mondriaan's later coloured geometric paintings really make sense when you see his early landscapes with trees, and then a period experimenting with thinning out trees focusing on the branches and spaces between them.

The museum also has a fun sculpture garden.

Plus, bonus nature environment, it's not as touristy as Amsterdam. I mean it's a tourist area for sure, but without the bustle of Amsterdam.

I went there once right after new year's, the museum and restaurant were closed but it was so quiet elsewhere, it was great.

Yep! You can grab a free bike and go for a ride around the park surrounding the museum. Highly recommend it
I will, thanks!
