The anniversary year of 2023 kicks off with a tribute to the Van Gogh family. Without the unconditional support that they offered Vincent, the museum simply would not have existed.

The exhibition Choosing Vincent: From Family Inheritance to World-Famous Collection (working title) tells a personal story of doubt, setbacks, pride, and triumph. A story punctuated with dilemmas, seen through the eyes of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), his brother Theo (1857-1891), Theo's wife Jo (1862-1925) and their son Vincent (1890-1978), named after his uncle.

The many masterpieces and lesser-known gems in the exhibition reveal how the family inheritance grew to become a world-famous collection.
