Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it. – Vincent van Gogh

The Kröller-Müller Museum is located in Otterlo, the Netherlands in the Hoge Veluwe National Park. I have wanted to visit this museum for many years because of its stunning collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, particularly those of van Gogh. However, the trip there appeared to be somewhat daunting – one train to Ede-Wageningen station, two bus rides, plus an additional walk, bike, or bus ride after arriving at the National Park gate. This trip I was determined to visit and it was well worth the effort!

If you are able, be sure to ride one of the hundreds of bikes, provided free of charge, to get to the museum from the National Park’s front gate. Great fun!
