Van Gogh House has been part of the Open House Festival Open City since we opened to the public in 2019!

🗝️ Open House is the one time each year where the house is open to the public, and free to drop in. Come visit us and learn about this 200-year-old house and the people who have played a part in its significant, and often eccentric history.

🖌️ This image is of a painting by Camberwell postman Paul Chalcroft, the man who discovered Vincent’s South London address. Made in the 1970s when the exterior of 87 Hackford Road was rendered blue, it is one of a number of paintings we’ve collected by ‘Van Gogh’s other postman’.

🎞️ Swipe to see a photograph and press clipping from September 1973, when Van Gogh’s blue plaque was unveiled by the then Mayor of Lambeth, Mrs. Minnie Kidd and Mr. Schaapveld, an official from the Dutch embassy.

Visit Van Gogh House as part of Open House Festival this weekend:
Saturday 19 & Sunday 20th September
10:00–17:00

We’ve now said goodbye to artists-in-residence Annabelle Binnerts & Bart Lunenburg, who spent 6-weeks living at the Van Gogh House supported by the Dutch Embassy in the UK and Mondriaan Fund. They spent the time visiting historic houses and collections across the country, as well as conducting close, careful documentation of the house. These photographs offer a sneak peak into the traces they’ve left behind in the building, ideas and references that will lead into a publication.

Van Gogh House is open this weekend for our volunteer-led tours, come learn about Van Gogh’s time in London as a young man and experience the thoughtful interventions made by Annabelle, Bart and other previous artist residents. Tickets via the link in our bio.

Artist arrival! We’re pleased to announce that our new artists in residence Annabelle Binnerts and Bart Lunenburg have arrived safely at The Van Gogh House. Over the next few weeks they will be absorbing everything London and the house has to offer. During their residency, they hope to conduct a shared investigation of the house as a “utilitarian object, passed down from resident to resident” as they explore what is seen and unseen in the history of the house. We’re excited to see what they produce!

Annabelle and Bart's residency is supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the UK, and the Mondrian Fund.
