Van Gogh Museum hosts Vincent on Friday in Amsterdam on 27 November 2026, bringing an evening programme of live performances, DJs, workshops and talks to the museum. The event is the next edition of the museum’s recurring evening programme and takes place after the regular daytime visit.
Vincent on Friday returns to Amsterdam on 27 November
The museum’s official programme lists Vincent on Friday for 27 November 2026. The event runs from 7.30pm until 11.30pm, according to the organiser, and is presented as an evening event developed with young creative talents.
The programme combines live performances, DJ sets, workshops and talks. The organiser’s event page gives the date, venue and programme format in the same listing for Vincent on Friday.
The date also falls during two temporary exhibitions at the museum. Whistler. Dandy and Disruptor continues until 10 January 2027, while Yoshitoshi. Master of the Moon runs until 4 January 2027. Both exhibitions are listed by the museum as being on view during the November event.
Two museum buildings shape the evening setting
The museum consists of the Rietveld Building and the Kurokawa Wing, joined by a newer entrance hall on Museumplein. The main building was designed by Gerrit Rietveld and opened in 1973; Kisho Kurokawa’s exhibition wing was completed in 1999.
That division gives the evening a clear architectural context: the permanent Van Gogh collection is displayed in the Rietveld Building, while temporary exhibitions occupy the Kurokawa Wing. The museum’s history and building details are set out in its official building history.
The collection’s institutional history reaches back to an agreement made in 1962 between Vincent van Gogh’s heirs and the Dutch state. The arrangement transferred the family collection to the Vincent van Gogh Foundation and established the basis for a publicly accessible museum.
The Amsterdam museum holds more than 200 paintings and nearly 500 drawings by Vincent van Gogh, alongside works by his contemporaries. Its permanent collection therefore remains part of the setting even when the evening programme places performances and workshops alongside the galleries.
