Press Release: Making an impression
Tuesday 14th August 2007
If you are looking for some artistic inspiration head to Amsterdam this summer with Railbookers.
The Van Gogh Museum is currently holding an exhibition entitled “Van Gogh's drawings: new insights”. Fans of the famous Dutch artist will be excited to learn that Van Gogh’s “Wild Vegetation” drawing will also be on display. “Wild Vegetation” found new fame recently with the discovery of the original painting underneath Van Gogh’s “The Ravine”. The exhibition will be running until 7 October 2007 and tickets can be purchased online through www3.vangoghmuseum.nl or on the door for 10 Euros; entry is free of charge for Amsterdam card holders, the card can be bought through Railbookers from £24 for a one day pass. The Museum is open daily from 10.00 to 18.00, and on Fridays 10.00 to 22.00.
Following time spent on artistic pursuits why not find your own muse in this cosmopolitan city. Whether you want to enjoy a bit of nature in Amsterdam’s Vondelpark, explore the city’s tragic past at the Anne Frank Museum or watch the world go by in the exciting surroundings of Leidseplein Square, Amsterdam has something for everyone.
