Van Gogh, the last journeys: the exhibition at Château d'Auvers-sur-Oise - Extensions

Vincent Van Gogh, a true figure of Impressionism, spent the last years of his life in the charming, bucolic and restful village ofAuvers-sur-Oise, close to the capital. The surrounding fields and river lulled his imagination, and he produced some of his most famous paintings, nearly 74 in just 70 days. The town celebrates the 170th anniversary of his birth, on the site of his final resting place, with an exhibition at the Château d'Auvers-sur-Oise, from October 7, 2023 to September 29, 2024, then in a second part, fromOctober19, 2024 to November 2, 2025.

To mark the occasion, the château has been completely redesigned to accommodate the presentation of the painter's last journeys. We take you on a journey to the heart of France, from the Parisian years with his brother, to his last stay in the Val-d'Oise, via his excursions to Arles and Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, through his works, which tell the story of his life and the landscapes that accompanied it. You can enter into the artist's creative process and his private life, discovering the personalities he rubbed shoulders with, as well as his dreams, hopes and torments.

A true exploration of a village dear to his heart, devoted to the last four years of his life, in a scenography combining digital technology and original works, both his own and those of his contemporaries. This second part of the exhibition will feature new, never-before-seen works, with an intense cultural program of guided tours, lectures, dance performances, plays and family workshops.
