A warm welcome T
his year we’re delighted to be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, home to the largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh in the world. You can expect a packed programme of events as we continue our mission to inspire a diverse global audience with the life and work of Vincent van Gogh and his time – an artist who not only influenced so many other painters, but who continues to excite and surprise us today.
Through his paintings, drawings, sketches and letters Vincent offers new ways of seeing and new ways of doing, and we aim to stay true to that spirit of authenticity and bold creativity in our licensing programme. Each collaboration [see pp8–14] tells a fascinating story and helps us spread awareness of the Museum’s work and Vincent’s legacy far beyond these four walls, and we’d like to take this opportunity to offer a huge thank you to our fantastic licensing partners and wonderful local agents who make it all possible.
We’re very much looking forward to meeting as many of you as we can at this year’s trade shows. In the meantime, do visit www.vangoghmuseum.nl to find out more about our birthday plans – there’s lots to celebrate!
