Primary school pupils
Come to Nuenen with your class and tread in Vincent van Gogh's footsteps! In the Vincentre you can experience what Vincent once experienced in Nuenen. The audiovisual tour in our Van Gogh Centre will help you learn lots about the life and work of this world famous artist during his Nuenen period! We have also worked out an exciting outdoor trail for you with interesting questions and things to draw. Nuenen really is a unique outdoor museum.

Extra: we currently have 4 iPads with Van Gogh apps which are available for you to work with. In September 2011 there will be 15 of them with a special Van Gogh in Brabant app for 10-12 year olds, made available by the Van Gogh in Brabant Association.

See you soon in Van Gogh Village Nuenen!

Secondary school students
If you are becoming involved in a theme week or a history project you should consider Vincent van Gogh, the most famous Dutch artist from the 19th century! Vincent van Gogh lived and worked in Nuenen for two years. Be impressed by our modern Vincentre, a real experience for you and your fellow students! Audiovisual aids will offer you a convincing way to hear, see and absorb Vincent van Gogh. This is a historical sensation you will never forget. Let us welcome you to Nuenen. To see the outdoor route in Van Gogh Village Nuenen on foot or by bike we have made a special information booklet for secondary school students: 'In the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh'. This is something you can do alone or with your class.

If you are a guest from another country you will be interested in visiting the Vincentre: the audiovisual tour is available in 8 languages! In addition, students from other countries can read and listen to the outdoor information columns with text and audio clips in English.

Extra: we currently have 4 iPads with Van Gogh apps which are available for you to work with. In September 2011 there will be 15 of them, made available by the Van Gogh in Brabant Association.

See you soon in the Vincentre.
