The Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, 65 miles east of Amsterdam, is offering “Van Gogh & Co. Criss-crossing the Collection” through Sept. 27. It features 50 paintings and drawings by Van Gogh from its collection, the second largest in the world after that of the Van Gogh Museum, displayed with works by his predecessors, contemporaries and followers, including Henri Fantin-Latour, Paul Signac, Paul Gauguin and Isaac Israels. The Kröller-Müller also is offering anniversary-related concerts, lectures and workshops, as well as a special cycle route on Van Gogh and nature organized by Hoge Veluwe National Park.
