Van Gogh National Park (Dutch: Van Gogh Nationaal Park) is a proposed Dutch national park, presented on 30 March 2021.[2]
The park would consist of several natural areas in the province of North Brabant, including De Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park and Het Groene Woud.[3] In addition to nature, the park is intended to promote cultural heritage, sustainability, as well as the local economy.[4]
The project is named after painter Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890), a native of North Brabant who worked and lived in a number of locations within the area it would cover.[5]
