Now Playing: Van Gogh

Studio 360

Vincent Van Gogh would have turned 150 this year and his personal trials are just as famous as his art. His rejection in his own time, his psychological struggles…his cutting off his own ear. But an exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam asks us to rethink Van Gogh, and what we know about it. Produced by Emily Hoffman.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
