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

How did Vincent van Gogh become a world-famous artist? To this day, his family plays an important role in this.

The exhibition Choosing Vincent. Portrait of a Family History is telling 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.

In the multisensory exhibition, you get to know Vincent and his extraordinary family by looking, listening and doing. The many masterpieces and lesser-known gems show how the family collection grew to become a world-famous collection.
