Rare look inside the original Arti library at the Van Gogh Museum

The Van Gogh Museum is offering Arti members a unique opportunity: a rare glimpse into our original library. Guided by a curator, you’ll gain access to a selection from the complete Arti library, as it was available to artists in the nineteenth century.

A special chance to see books and journals that generations of Arti members consulted for knowledge, inspiration, and artistic development.

The library was built up from the founding of Arti in 1839 and grew into an important collection of art journals and specialist literature. In 1992, the collection was transferred to the Van Gogh Museum, where it has been preserved in its entirety.

On Monday 6 July, Arti members are invited to visit this extraordinary collection free of charge, one final time. There are three time slots available, each for a maximum of 15 participants. Places are limited.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity, reserve your ticket via the button above.

Please note: this activity is exclusively for Arti members.
