Dedicated solely to the work of Vincent Van Gogh, the Amsterdam based museum attracts over 2 million visitors annually. Established in 1976, it has the largest collection of Van Gogh artwork worldwide, possessing 1,300 pieces, including his iconic paintings Sunflowers, Self-Portrait and The Potato Eaters. Although it is only ranked 31st in the most visited art museums globally, the Van Gogh Museum takes second place for its global reputation ranking, with a score of 81.9%.
The Van Gogh museum is most highly appreciated in Europe, topping the continent’s ranking with a marginally higher reputation than the Louvre. However, its ranking was less consistent in other regions, with Asia, for example, scoring it 15th. The museum ranks well within four reputation drivers, placing 1st for its governance, 2nd for contribution to society and 3rdfor both its collection and its qualities as a workplace. Despite being one of the younger museums in the rankings, it is the 5th most well-known and reinforces the link between familiarity of a museum and a high reputation.
