In addition to Van Gogh's paintings, the museum also houses masterpieces by Monet, Picasso, Mondrian, Gauguin, Renoir and other artists, among which the more classic is the "Composition of Red, Yellow and Blue" by the Dutch painter Mondrian. Another highlight of the museum is its outdoor sculpture garden. This is one of the largest sculpture gardens in Europe, covering an area of 25 hectares.

Overall, the place is interesting; it's my first experience with this kind of zoning. I was especially impressed by the butterfly zone—it was amazing! The oceanarium wasn't impressive. There are large tanks, but they only have a few fish. There's a tunnel, but the view is a bit cloudy, and there are mostly a few stingrays. There aren't many animals, and their areas seem comfortable, quite large. This is definitely a plus for the animals, but it's quite difficult for a person, and especially a child, to find and see them. For example, we didn't see any rhinos at all; the tiger was sitting in the bushes, and the lions were sleeping somewhere in the far corner, blending in with the sand.

I highly recommend visiting the Kröller-Müller Museum, which boasts the second-largest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world, second only to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It's less crowded, allowing you to quietly immerse yourself in Van Gogh's works.

One of the greatest museums of Dutch history. You feel like you travel through time. The museum is quite large, so allow yourself enough time to see it (at least 3-4 hours).

Gorgeous Park! You can easily arrive by car or by public transport. Grab a free bike at the entrance and ride around freely for the entire day. The landscape is beautiful, the museum in the middle of the park is one of my favourites, and the restaurants is surprisingly delicious.
