Choosing Vincent. Portrait of a Family History
The Van Gogh Museum celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2023, and is kicking off this anniversary year with a tribute to the Van Gogh family. Without the unconditional support that the family offered Vincent, the museum simply would not have existed.
Choosing Vincent. Portrait of a Family History
The exhibition
Choosing Vincent. Portrait of a Family History illuminates the genesis of the collection. From Vincent and his brother Theo’s early years in the south of the Netherlands through to the construction of the Van Gogh Museum, placement of the collection, and its opening in 1973. The exhibition deals with Vincent’s long road to becoming an artist, the special bond between the brothers, and the role of the Van Gogh family, who are still closely involved with the museum.
The exhibition runs up to and including 10 April.
