The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is currently hosting a special exhibition called “Pokémon × Van Gogh Museum”. The exhibition, which runs until January 7, 2024, features six of Van Gogh’s most famous paintings reimagined with Pokémon characters.
The collaboration is intended to introduce children to the world of art through the familiar lens of Pokémon. The six paintings that have been reimagined are:
- Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear (1889) – Pikachu
- The Starry Night (1889) – Eevee
- Bedroom in Arles (1889) – Snorlax
- Sunflowers (1889) – Oddish
- The Potato Eaters (1885) – Sandygast
- Wheatfield with Crows (1890) – Corviknight
In addition to the paintings, the exhibition also features a variety of educational activities and interactive experiences. Visitors can learn about the similarities between Van Gogh’s work and Japanese prints, which were a major source of inspiration for the artist. They can also create their own Pokémon-inspired artwork or take part in a scavenger hunt to find hidden Pokémon throughout the museum.
The exhibition has been a hit with visitors of all ages. It has been praised for its creativity, its educational value, and its appeal to both fans of Van Gogh and fans of Pokémon.
