Be blown away by Van Gogh's most spectacular paintings in our once-in-a-century exhibition.

Walk with a pair of lovers beneath a starry night. Look up at swirling clouds and cypress trees swaying in the wind. Stay a little while in Van Gogh's favourite park, the Poet's Garden, or under a shady tree in Saint-Rémy.

We're bringing together your most loved of Van Gogh's paintings from across the globe, some of which are rarely seen in public. They will be paired together with his extraordinary drawings.

Over just two years in the south of France, Van Gogh revolutionised his style in a symphony of poetic colour and texture. He was inspired by poets, writers and artists. We look at this time in Arles and Saint-Rémy as a decisive period in his career. His desire to tell stories produced a landscape of poetic imagination and romantic love on an ambitious scale.

See up-close his Starry Night over the Rhône (1888, Musée d'Orsay) and The Yellow House (1888, Van Gogh Museum), as well as our own Sunflowers (1888) and Van Gogh's Chair (1889), among many others.

Join us in celebrating our 200th birthday with Van Gogh's Poets and Lovers.
