Organization Van Gogh Village Nuenen

Mission
The Van Gogh Village Nuenen Foundation(Foundation Van Gogh Village Nuenen) shows all (inter)national visitors why his period in Nuenen was so crucial, and was consequently the most interesting period in his development as a person and as an artist. The heritage locations and the Van Gogh Village Museum ensure a unique experience, because nowhere else in the world can visitors get so close to Van Gogh as in Nuenen.

Vision
Van Gogh Village Nuenen is working towards (inter)national recognition and accreditation of the importance of Van Gogh's period in Nuenen. By literally following in his footsteps, more and more visitors are experiencing that they can't get any closer to Van Gogh, and by offering this experience, our foundation is contributing to the Brabant leisure economy. In addition, by having Van Gogh in our midst as a knowable, touchable figure, the manufacturing and knowledge industry of the Brainport region in south-east Brabant is given a creative and inspirational boost.

Strategy
These are our focus points for the next few years:

• Operating the Van Gogh Village Museum and the outdoor museum (heritage locations)
• Collaboration in local, regional, national and international areas
• Organizing events and activities.
• Making known our collection policy
• Educational resources
• Fulfilling a social role for groups in society.
