Van Goghhuis, Art museum in Zundert, Netherlands.
Van Goghhuis is a museum housed in the birthplace of Vincent van Gogh, where exhibitions document his early years through multimedia and personal objects. The rooms preserve the original structure of the parsonage where the family lived and where the artist spent his formative years.
The birthplace was built in 1853 and is where Vincent van Gogh was born as the son of a Protestant pastor. The family moved away later, but the building preserves this important connection to his early years and family roots.
