Cultural tours in the Netherlands
Undisputed giants of Western art dominate our tours of the Netherlands – Van Gogh of course, and the Old Masters of the seventeenth century. On separate itineraries we visit the world’s two finest collections of Van Gogh’s work, in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the Kröller-Müller Museum in tiny Otterlo; linger not once but twice in the magnificent Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (where works by Rembrandt and Vermeer abound); find time for the Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art, also in Amsterdam; and explore smaller museums such as the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem and the superb Mauritshuis in The Hague.
The Netherlands also feature in Charlemagne to Charles V, a tour dedicated to the art and architecture of the Low countries in the Middle Ages, and music tours including Mahler in Amsterdam and String Quartet Biennale.
