Pokemon has done some rather creative collaborations over the years, and their most recent involves working with the world-famous Van Gogh Museum to celebrate the museum’s 50th anniversary and help teach young people about Van Gogh and his art.

The museum will feature several Van Gogh-inspired artworks featuring Pokemon, as well as several other activities for attendees to enjoy.
