This dissertation, designed to obtain a Master's degree in Museology, conducts a theoretical survey about museology in the Netherlands, with the goal of understanding the strategies that this country has developed in relation to the various successful museums linked to Van Gogh. The museum language and its main museographic communication techniques in an exhibition room was thoroughly understood. A simple diagram was drawn up with the necessary elements to read these museums. For the analysis, the Dutch painter Van Gogh (1853-1890) was selected. A deep biographical survey of his life was made, referring to the period in which he lived in Holland (1853-1885). In this way, his journey in his homeland was mapped. Due to the high popularity of the painter, several museums, which were established in places where he resided, were created throughout the Netherlands. For this dissertation, eight museums in the Netherlands and a traveling exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Van Gogh were selected.Four of these museums have authentic works by Van Gogh in their collection. Thus, an analysis of the museological program and museographic project of the following institutions was made: Van Gogh Huis Museum in Zundert, Van Gogh Kerk Museum in Etten-Leur, Vincentre Museum in Nuenen, Salon Nune Ville Museum in Nuenen, Het Noordbrabants Museum in Den Bocsh, Museum Rijksmuseum Kröller-Müller in Otterlo, Museum Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The museographic project of the Experience Meet Vincent van Gogh Traveling Exhibition was also analyzed. This extensive analysis seeks to answer the question: what kind of museology is currently practiced in the Netherlands? and also the question: Which museological and museographic techniques are most effective in the practice and presentation of the work and life of this post-impressionist painter
