Dear reader

Fortunately, we can still visit exhibitions. A new Vincent was here exhibition will start on December 17 at the Citadel of Namur, Belgium. With almost 40 large photos, this is the largest Vincent was here exhibition to date. And there is more...

Vincent was here

Vincent was here is a personal visual project on the intersection between photography and painting and full of references to the paintings of Vincent van Gogh. The exhibition was launched in autumn 2019 in Het Noordbrabants Museum (NL). Vincent was here can be viewed in three rooms of the visitor centre Terra Nova in the Citadel of Namur, Belgium.

At Musée Félicien Rops in Namur an exhibition Dans les yeux de Van Gogh is now on view with paintings and drawings of Belgian contemporaries of Vincent van Gogh.

A double ticket with Musée Félicien Rops provides access and you get also a discount to fly from one exposition to the other with the new cable car. Guided tours for groups are possible.
