Pokemon and the Van Gogh Museum Have a New Challenge to Face
The Pokemon and Van Gogh Museum collaboration has opened in Amsterdam. The event features Pokémon-inspired interpretations of some of Van Gogh’s most famous works. There is also some exclusive merchandise available for purchase. However, the opening day of the event has brought out droves of scalpers to the venue’s gift shop, keen to grab as much of the exclusive collaboration as possible while stocks last. A video shared on Twitter shows the shop’s interior flooded by crowds of people after the collaboration prints, plushies, and cards:
