Bidbook

To bring the significance of Vincent van Gogh's legacy to life for a wider audience, permanent exhibitions will be redesigned in Zundert, Etten-Leur and Nuenen starting next year.

Tinker Imagineers of Utrecht has produced a plan for this purpose, entitled "Becoming Vincent," that is as voluminous (over 100 pages) as it is ambitious, in the form of a bid book.

The heritage centers in Zundert, Etten-Leur and Nuenen have set the bar high. There is work to be done. But they won't do it alone. Broad social cooperation is needed. Two separate foundations have been established for this purpose: the Van Gogh Heritage Foundation and the Van Gogh Vastgoed NV. With the bid book we give governments, companies, industry, funds and lotteries a good picture of the various projects, so that we can ask for concrete support on that basis. We expect the first results after the summer of 2018.
