2023 is a great year...
Van Gogh Brabant, Marketing Drenthe, VisitBrabant and the Netherlands Board of Tourism & Conventions (NBTC) will work closely together in the coming years to shape The Rural Van Gogh.
This year marks exactly 140 years since Vincent van Gogh arrived in New Amsterdam, Drenthe, and the same year he moved to Nuenen, North Brabant.
The coming years will see increased collaboration to connect the heritage of Vincent van Gogh in North Brabant and Drenthe.
By establishing the relationship with the landscape where the painter found his inspiration, the cooperating partners want to develop new sustainable tourist offerings for visitors who are interested in small scale and the combination of culture and nature.
2023 is a great year for Van Gogh lovers and those who need to get to know Van Gogh a little better. In September, for example, Drenthe is coming up with a special Van Gogh exhibition at the Drents Museum and a reopening of the Van Gogh House in Nieuw Amsterdam/Veenoord.
And in North Brabant - where Vincent was born, lived most of his life and produced most of his drawings and paintings - on April 20, Van Gogh Village Nuenen Museum (formerly Vincentre) reopens its doors!
