Pokemon x Van Gogh Museum Collaboration Teased

The Pokemon Company announced a new collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It will be coming on September 28, 2023. More information about the collaboration will release at a later date.

The teaser trailer for the Pokemon x Van Gogh Museum collaboration shows Pikachu and Eevee running through a field of sunflowers and passing by windmills. The two Pokemon look up at the sky as the clouds begin to transform into brushstrokes. When Pikachu and Eevee look down, they see the field of sunflowers have transformed into Sunflora. The trailer also revealed a painting of a Sunflora in the iconic style of Van Gogh’s art that helped define the post-impressionist art movement in the 1880s.

Pokemon is no stranger to museum collaborations. In 2021, the Pokemon Fossil Museum went on tour across Japan to teach attendees about the world of paleontology by utilizing real fossils of dinosaurs and other real-life animals and man-made fossils based on Pokemon. At the beginning of 2023, Japan House in Los Angeles opened the Pokemon X Kogei – Playful Encounters of Pokemon and Japanese Craft exhibit which will run through to 2024. Pokemon was also featured at the Cup Noodle Museum with a 3D-printed Pikachu in Yokohama in August 2023.

The Pokemon x Van Gogh Museum collaboration is set to begin on September 28, 2023.
