City Canal Cruise & Van Gogh Museum Anselm Kiefer Exhibition
For the first time in their history, the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam are joining forces to stage a major exhibition of one of the most important artists of our time: Anselm Kiefer.
The exhibition, which opens in spring 2025, places Kiefer centre stage. From his childhood, Kiefer has had a special connection to the work of Vincent van Gogh. To this day, Kiefer's admiration for Van Gogh is visibly present in his work. He also has a long, personal history with the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. The museum bought and displayed his work from the beginning, giving Kiefer recognition for his art.
Especially for this exhibition, Kiefer has created new works that have never been seen before. Of course, popular favourites from the collections of both museums are also on display. At the Van Gogh Museum, famous paintings by Vincent van Gogh will be shown along with works by Kiefer. At the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, you will see all the Kiefers from the collection together for the first time.
One exhibition, two museums
Anselm Kiefer - Sag mir wo die Blumen sind is one exhibition divided between two museums.This ticket grants access to the permanent collections at both museums and the exhibition at both museums.
