Since 1998, the VriendenLoterij (before known as BankGiro Loterij) has made a substantial annual contribution to help the Van Gogh Museum acquire new works for its collection.
In addition to the regular contribution, the VriendenLoterij made an additional contribution in 2023 for the Van Gogh Museum’s 50th anniversary. For example, the museum organized the campaign Congratulations with a Van Gogh in collaboration with the VriendenLoterij.
The Vincent van Gogh Foundation offers financial support to the museum, facilitating various projects such as research into the collection of French 19th-century prints, the exhibition Choosing Vincent and the German translation of Jo van Gogh-Bonger's biography Everything for Vincent.
The Vincent van Gogh Foundation and the VriendenLoterij are also two of our founders.
