About the talk

Turning art and culture into economically sustainable enterprises has always been a perennial challenge. The Amsterdam-based Van Gogh Museum boasts over four decades of international museum management expertise. As one of the most visited museums in the world, Van Gogh Museum is also a much sought-after partner in the cultural and business communities. In this talk, Alice van der Slikke, the Van Gogh Museum’s Business Manager, will share entrepreneurship cases that promote the Museum and its priceless collection on one hand, and create social and economic values on the other.
