Van Gogh Museum
The Van Gogh Museum inspires a diverse audience with the life and work of Vincent van Gogh and his time. It is authentic, in connection and original. These core values function as an ethical compass for the museum and staff. Together, the core values are the yardstick by which the museum will measure all its activities – existing and new. The core values keep each other in balance and strengthen each other where necessary. The Van Gogh Museum aims to take a leading position in its core competencies: research, exhibitions, educational programmes, publications, social media, access to the collection, development, but also in the areas of sustainability, how it functions as an employer, safety, management of visitors through its buildings, commercial activities and much more.
