Excellent and Thorough Van Gogh Guide

Guide Anita Gosschalk Liemburg is excellent!
It lasted just the right amount of time. I wanted to learn more about Van Gough, but did not want a PhD in him. Anita Gosschalk Liemburg, our guide did a wonderful presentation with just enough information. She has extensive experience working for the museum before becoming a guide.

5 start art historian tour of the Van Gogh
Anita was so knowledgeable and helpful in giving a well rounded and informative presentation. I would take any tour she was giving. Excellent!! She not only had historical information and slides but also asked questions of our interpretation of the pieces. Best tour we’ve had in weeks of this trip!
