In September, the Association internationale de bibliophilie visited a number of Dutch libraries and book collections. On one of their excursions, no less than 90 bibliophiles visited the Van Gogh Museum. There Assistant Curator Juliette van Uhm and Senior Librarian Anita Vriend presented a special programme and introduced a selection of the finest books in the museum’s collection.
The visitors received a copy of the book Choosing Vincent and a handout about the selection of publications, with an introduction outlining the significance of books for art in the 19th century.
