Van Gogh Village Nuenen

Following a successful collaboration which resulted in Vincent's Lightlab, ASML and Van Gogh Village Museum are reinforcing this by entering into a three-year partnership. One result of this is that all children under the age of 18 will receive free admission.The collaboration also includes an educational programme being developed especially for schools. A separate audio tour for young people is also in production. This will enable young people to discover the inspiring story of Vincent van Gogh in the museum, and then learn about the interaction between technology and art in the Lightlab.
