The floral labyrinth is expected to be 7,000m² and will cover nearly 50% of the Museumplein.
This flower maze will be developed in a record time of three and a half days by a professional crew.
It will be open to museum visitors on 5 and 6 September between 9am and 5pm for free, and after the two days the museum will hand out the sunflowers to the public.
The museum also intends to provide a photo deck so that visitors can take pictures of the Museumplein and Van Gogh Museum, with the maze in the background.
