Few people know that the Groninger Museum has hosted one of the greatest exhibitions of Vincent van Gogh. Beginning on November 30, the Groninger Museum's exhibition How van Gogh came to Groningen tells the story of headstrong Groningers and enterprising students who brought modern art to the North beginning in 1896. The first exhibition of the then-new museum featured 128 works by Vincent van Gogh. At the time, the museum was located on Praediniussingel, now a location of Minerva Art Academy.
How appropriate that students from Minerva Art Academy are creating and displaying work in a satellite exhibition at Praediniussingel?
The exhibition opens on Dec. 13. More information to follow.
