Van Gogh at School
Find interactive art lessons for all levels in primary and secondary education.
The current coronavirus pandemic brings with it considerable challenges regarding education: for pupils and teachers, as well as for parents and carers. The Van Gogh Museum is therefore delighted that in these challenging times, in which it is not always possible to visit a museum, teachers, parents and carers all around the world are still engaged with Van Gogh and his art.
For many years, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has offered teaching materials through Van Gogh at School: a platform with free interactive online lessons for primary and secondary schools.
During the first global wave of coronavirus in 2020, during which school closures meant a switch to distance learning, visits to the English-language lessons increased by 273%.
The museum is constantly updating the range of lessons: last week, two new lessons were added to the free Van Gogh at School platform.
‘I think there would be children who became painters if only they saw good things’.’
– Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, September 1889
