Step into the Gallery and be treated to Van Gogh's most spectacular paintings and drawings, in one exhibition. It's a chance to delve into what inspired and motivated the artist in his famously productive final years in Arles, in the south of France.
In 1888 Van Gogh left Paris and moved to Arles, claiming that "It seems to me almost impossible to work in Paris unless one has some place of retreat where one can recuperate".
Arles would go on to inspire the artist, with its rural scenes and quality of light.
One of the most famous works, 'The Yellow House (The Street)' will be on display. It features a house he lived in for just under 6 months but which has come to be synonymous with Van Gogh and his time in the south of France.
Visit the Gallery throughout the year, and there's always a crowd around Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'. This exhibition brings together our 'Sunflowers' with another of the seven that he painted while in Arles, usually on display in Philadelphia.
Van Gogh sketched out a plan for two sunflowers to be displayed as a triptych with a version of 'La Berceuse (Lullaby: Madame Augustine Roulin Rocking a Cradle)' in a letter to his brother Theo. Don't miss the chance to see these three paintings as Van Gogh dreamt they be displayed.

While Van Gogh is best known for his bold use of bright colours, his drawings are equally entrancing.
The exhibition features 14 drawings by Van Gogh. Take the chance to admire his extraordinary drawings, filled with the energy and dynamism of his hand.
And for the artists among you, pick up a pencil or piece of charcoal and have a go at your own landscape, inspired by Van Gogh's ingenious mark making.

Capturing lovers strolling along the banks of the Rhône, or the public park in Arles known as The Poets Garden, Van Gogh's works from this period are brimming with poetry.
Immerse yourself in his creative world and let the inspiration flow.
