Malcolm Cannon · Answer 1

Van Gogh

Explanation:

The exhibition referenced in the question is "Meet Vincent van Gogh", interactive installation exhibition that opened in London in early February.

The audio guide that accompanies it started a debate because the artist's name is pronounced "Van Go", like it would be pronounced in America, rather than Britain version "Van Gof".

The Dutch version is more like "Van Khokh", but this event showed the name is differently pronounced in each country - Gof in Britan, Go in the US, Gog in France, etc.
