Van Gogh Exhibitions
2026 -2027
A calendar checked on official sites to distinguish exhibitions with original works, collective exhibitions and digital shows. Dates, cities, pieces announced and level of certainty: this is what really deserves a trip.
Where to see Van Gogh in 2026 -2027?
Two events dominate the agenda. The first brings together the entire Van Gogh painted collection from the Kroeller-Müller in the Netherlands. The second takes masterpieces rarely loaned around the world to Japan Langlois Bridge.
Calendar checked at a glance
"Originals" means that real works by Van Gogh are announced. A group exhibition can be excellent, but it should not be confused with a retrospective entirely devoted to the painter.

Exhibitions to see before fall 2026
Four very different proposals are open in July 2026: a major Van Gogh exhibition in Tokyo, an impressionist tour in Japan, a story by merchant Paul Cassirer in Berlin and a collection display in Los Angeles.
Grand Van Gogh Exhibition I
This first part follows the painter of the Dutch period to Paris and Arles. Around sixty works by Van Gogh and his contemporaries come from the collection of the Kroeller-Müller Museum. The route culminates with Café terrace in the evening, nocturnal without black where the yellow of the Place du Forum responds to the blue of the sky.
This is the exhibition most directly dedicated to Van Gogh still visible during the summer of 2026. The museum announces a daily opening during the period, but the reservation and exact times must be checked on the Tokyo stage website.
Van Gogh and the Impressionists
The Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne lends seventy paintings from its impressionist and post-impressionist collection during the temporary closure of its building. The ensemble associates Van Gogh with Cézanne, Gauguin, Manet, Monet and Renoir. It is therefore a collective exhibition, valuable for comparing solutions of color and touch, but not a Van Gogh retrospective.
After a first stage now completed in Utsunomiya, the tour is visible in Osaka then will join Nagoya. Lists of works and ticketing constraints may vary depending on the stage.
Cassirer and the breakthrough of Impressionism
The exhibition pays tribute to the merchant Paul Cassirer, a decisive actor in the recognition of French impressionism and Van Gogh in the German-speaking world. The official list includes at least two works by the painter: Boulevard de Clichy and one Self-portrait, both dated 1887 and on loan from the Van Gogh Museum.
We come here to understand the circulation of works, the role of the market and the formation of German collections. Van Gogh is not the only subject, but his insertion among Degas, Cézanne, Manet, Monet and Renoir sheds light on the historical construction of his celebrity.
Collecting Impressionism at LACMA
This hanging recounts the evolution of taste and gifts that made up the museum's impressionist collection. His interest in Van Gogh lovers lies in Tarascon Stagecoach (1888), the artist's first painting entered the LACMA collections.
This is not a Van Gogh exhibition in the strict sense: it shows how a work from 1888 takes place in a broader institutional history. It is a relevant complement to a visit to the permanent collections of Los Angeles.
Otterlo: the 88 paintings combined
Van Gogh, All Our Paintings is the most important exhibition on this European agenda. It offers an overview that no single loan can replace.
Van Gogh, All Our Paintings
For the first time since 1984, the eighty-eight paintings by Van Gogh belonging to the Kroeller-Müller are brought together. Helene Kroeller-Müller acquired most of this ensemble between 1908 and 1930. The exhibition organizes it around three values which run through the life and research of the painter: faith, hope and love.
Among the works announced are At the door of eternity, The Sower, Potato Eaters, The Arlesienne, Café terrace in the evening, The Asylum Garden in Saint-Rémy, cypresses and the Portrait of Joseph Roulin. This density makes it possible to follow the palette breaks between the Netherlands, Paris, Arles and Saint-Rémy without reducing Van Gogh to three icons.
Good to know: a digital transition at the museum
Before this big meeting, Join Vincent on his terrace remains announced until September 13, 2026. This is a participatory and digital experience linked to Café terrace in the evening, within a museum which preserves the originals; it does not replace visiting the rooms.
The Pont de Langlois travels to Japan
The second part of the major Japanese exhibition is already dated in three cities. It focuses on Arles and the end of the career, with works rarely loaned by the Kroeller-Müller.
Kobe City Museum
First step of Grand Van Gogh Exhibition II: The Langlois Bridge at Arles. The exhibition opens with research from Arles before following the painter's last years.
Fukushima Prefectural Museum of Art
Second presentation confirmed. The official calendar already sets the dates, but detailed timetables and ticketing must be double-checked as the opening approaches.
Ueno Royal Museum, Tokyo
Last step announced. The Langlois Bridge and Country road in Provence at night are among the pieces highlighted by the organizer.
Official calendar 2027 -2028
Tokyo 2026 -2027: Starry Night on the Rhône
Another Tokyo exhibition allows you to see a major Van Gogh, but in a much broader panorama of modernity in the 19th century.
What a Wonderful World
The Musée d'Orsay sends to Tokyo a set of masterpieces dedicated to the transformations of the modern world. Urban nightlife, gas lighting and then electricity are part of the story. Starry Night on the Rhône by Van Gogh is officially reproduced and announced on the exhibition page.
For Van Gogh, the interest is precise: seeing how the yellow reflections of the city and the stars construct a modern night, in the middle of works which place this choice in the technical and social history of the 19th century.
Van Gogh immersive experiences in 2026
Commercial organizers often change extensions city by city. We only give an end date when it appears clearly on the official page.
A 360° projection does not expose the original painting.
These experiences use digitized reproductions, animation, sound, sometimes virtual reality and interactive spaces. They can be spectacular and accessible to families, but they do not allow them to observe the material, the real scale, the aged colors or the touch of a Van Gogh canvas.
Van Gogh - Immersive Exhibition from the Netherlands
The Lumiere Hall officially announces an extension until November 1, 2026, with 360° projections, video, light and music. Address: 1052 Budapest, Piarista köz 1. As the times published on different subpages are not perfectly consistent, check the ticket slot on the day of booking.
Budapest ↗ official websiteVan Gogh: The Immersive Experience
Exhibition Hub announces two-story screenings, virtual reality and interactive installations at 3900 Elati Street. No stable end date is indicated on the practical page consulted.
Check sessions ↗The Immersive Experience
The Immersive Hub device, 18 W 4th St, combines 360° projection, sunflower room, kiosks, hologram and virtual reality option. The end date is not announced: rely only on purchasable sessions.
Official page ↗Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience UK
The British site remains active with timetables and ticketing. The absence of an explicit closing date prevents promising availability throughout the year: check the calendar before traveling.
Official ticketing ↗Van Gogh Tallinn
The official website displays a daily opening and the address Telliskivi 60a/9. Some third-party platforms publish an end date, but we do not retain it until it is clearly confirmed by the organizer.
Official website ↗Choose museum if...
- you want to see the original material and touch;
- you are interested in attribution, provenance and loans;
- you are planning a journey around a specific masterpiece;
- you want to compare the actual formats.
Choose immersion if...
- are you looking for a sensory or family outing;
- you like projection, music and narration;
- you agree to see animated images and not the paintings;
- photography and interaction matter more than the object.
Prepare your trip without unpleasant surprises
An exhibition diary is only reliable if it distinguishes the date announced, the date actually bookable and the work actually loaned.
Control the location page
Check the day before departure for times, public holidays, technical closures and reservation obligations. For a tour, always use the local stop page.
Read the nature of the event
"Van Gogh in the Title" does not guarantee monographic exposure or the presence of originals. Locate the words projection, immersive, collection or masterpieces loaned.
Do not book for a single canvas without checking
A loan may be withdrawn for conservation or delayed. Museums sometimes indicate that the list of works may change; keep an alternative in your program.
And in France?
As of the date of this verification, the major official calendars consulted do not show a major temporary Van Gogh retrospective in France for the remainder of 2026 -2027. To see originals without delay, the Musée d'Orsay preserves several masterpieces and the Vincent van Gogh Arles Foundation organizes a permanent dialogue between its heritage and contemporary creation. Always check their official diaries before departure.
Extend the visit to your home
An exhibition helps you choose a work according to its history, format and palette. Find the nocturnes of Arles, bridges, portraits, landscapes and flowers in the collections of hand-painted reproductions.
Official pages checked
This selection favors lending museums, exhibition venues and responsible organizers. Ticketing aggregators are not used to confirm a date alone.

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest Van Gogh exhibition of 2026?
Van Gogh, All Our Paintings at the Kroeller-Müller Museum is the most exceptional event confirmed in Europe. From September 15, 2026 to January 3, 2027, the museum announces the simultaneous presentation of its 88 paintings by Van Gogh, a first since 1984.
Will there be a major Van Gogh exhibition in France in 2027?
As of July 17, 2026, no major temporary Van Gogh retrospective in France appears in the official verified programs for 2027. This situation may change: museums do not all announce their programming with the same advance.
Where to see Le Pont de Langlois in 2027?
The painting is announced in the second part of the Grand Van Gogh Exhibition in Japan: Kobe from February 6 to May 30, Fukushima from June 19 to September 26, then Tokyo from October 9, 2027 to January 30, 2028.
Do immersive exhibitions show original paintings?
No. They project and animate digital reproductions. They may include music, virtual reality and interactive installations, but they do not replace the observation of an original painting in a museum.
Which exhibition shows Terrasse du café in the evening in 2026?
The first part of the Grand Van Gogh Exhibition presents it at the Ueno Royal Museum in Tokyo until August 12, 2026. The work belongs to the Kroeller-Müller Museum.
Why don't some experiments have an end date?
Immersive productions often extend their operation according to demand and open the ticket office in periods. When no closing is published by the organizer, it is better to indicate "end not announced" and check the sessions actually available.
How do you know if an exhibition presents originals?
Consult the list of works, lenders and official vocabulary. The words "oil on canvas", collection or museum loan indicate original objects. The terms 360° projection, mapping, VR or digital experience refer to animated reproductions.
