Van Gogh House - Cuesmes (Mons)

Cuesmes, a small municipality within the Mons region, is a must-visit for all fans and specialists of Van Gogh’s work. It was during his stay in the Borinage that the preacher became an artist.

The area and its surrounding landscapes are imbued with an atmosphere rich in both rural and working-class references, which the painter would carry with him throughout his life’s work.

A place of remembrance brought to life by a new scenography. The tour begins as an initiation from the entrance in the garden, continuing into a renovated pavilion. The visit then takes you through the small, modernized house, allowing the spirit of its illustrious inhabitant to emerge.

An audio installation concludes the tour by situating the artist and his work within the historical context of the Borinage.
