Exclusive launches
The store opening is accompanied by the launch of several exclusive, including the MEGA ROYAL MOLLY X Van Gogh Museum. Inspired by the famous Van Gogh painting Almond Blossom, this collector's item showcases what both POP MART and Van Gogh are known for: the combination of art & design.
