Hyundai extends partnership with Van Gogh Museum
- Hyundai Motor has extended its partnership with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam until at least 2022
- This collaboration supports projects such as Hyundai Mobility Day and Van Gogh on the Road
- Hyundai engages in collaborations with major museums such as this as a way to unite design and art
This collaboration will enable the organisation of a Hyundai Mobility Day, focused on making the museum more accessible, as well as support the continuation of the project Van Gogh on the Road.
Hyundai became a partner of the Van Gogh Museum in 2016, and has now committed to continue its partnership until at least 2022. The partnership with the Van Gogh Museum dovetails with Hyundai’s vision of collaborating with leading international museums in order to unite design and art. Hyundai has already entered into partnerships with the Tate Modern in London, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, Korea.
A shared passion for Vincent van Gogh formed a strong foundation for Hyundai’s partnership with the Van Gogh Museum. The company also recognises the vital importance of sustainability, as does the Van Gogh Museum. The partnership will allow Hyundai to introduce the Hyundai IONIQ to a broad audience in the Netherlands and beyond. In return, Hyundai’s sponsorship will contribute to the museum’s core activities.
We are delighted and honoured that Hyundai has agreed to extend its involvement with our museum, especially now. Art and culture offer comfort and inspiration, also in these challenging times. The partnership builds on our shared passion for the work and life of Vincent van Gogh, and Hyundai’s contribution will enable us to make our museum more accessible. For everyone currently using digital means to get to know Van Gogh better, and for the visitors to Museumplein in Amsterdam, who we hope to welcome back soon.
Hyundai Motor and Van Gogh Museum to collaborate on Hyundai Mobility Day
The Van Gogh Museum will collaborate with Hyundai to organise the Hyundai Mobility Day on 26 October later this year, if the situation permits it. This special day will be focused on accessibility, a core value of both organisations. The museum will work together with Hyundai to develop educational activities for various target groups centred on this theme. In addition to these activities, Hyundai’s support will facilitate the Korean translation of the multimedia guide and the museum guide.
Van Gogh on the Road to be continued with latest IONIQ Electric and KONA Electric models
Hyundai has previously made various models of its EVs Hyundai IONIQ and KONA Electric available to the Van Gogh Museum. These cars were ‘wrapped’ in Vincent van Gogh’s iconic masterpieces, and one of the cars followed in Van Gogh’s footsteps as it travelled – fully electrically – to Paris as part of the project Van Gogh on the Road. Now that the partnership is being extended, Hyundai is once again making two models available to the museum: the latest, fully electric IONIQ Electric and KONA Electric, wrapped in Van Gogh’s iconic works “Almond Blossom” and “Sunflowers.”
