Used a holland pass tulip ticket to skip the queue and went right in. Keep in mind that open until 10 PM on Friday apparently means a concert in the lobby. But enjoy the ambiance it was much less crowded that late and the very talented live music was a great combination. The original paintings are outstanding and the four... More

For some people, it might not be that special. As I am a fan of Van Gogh, it was like a dream come true when I visited the Museum. It's better to buy the ticket earlier from the central station. Otherwise, you have to wait in a long line. You have to go through a security check. As far I... More

We were surprised to learn how van Goh experimented with different styles. We took the audio guided tour - It is a little bit tricky to handle the device.

We recently went to the Van Gogh on a Friday night for a museum visit and to see the special entertainment event they featured that night. If you come about 1.5 hours before the entertainment is scheduled, you will miss the long tourist lines that exist during the day and be there before the line starts to re-form for the... More

Loved the set up and all the paintings etc. It was so very cool!. The only thing I did not like was how people were taking videos and pictures and would just cut right in front of you with no regards to respect. I would think it would be better to not allow cameras etc at all in there.

Arts museum can vary from one to another. Portions are good portion are not. They usually only show a quick glimpse of an artist's work (one painting of their lifetime work-hardly representative of the artist). If you're interested in Van Gogh, this museum shows the evolution of him as an artist. It really gave me a real perspective as to... More

We took the number 5 tram to the museum having booked our tickets in the UK on the web. To be honest it was not that busy on a warm Wednesday afternoon in May. The museum is on three floors with plenty of information in Dutch and English to explain the theme of the room. I am not that much... More

The Museum was closed for renovation but were able to view many of the painting that had been moved to another location and were on display. Very well done exhibit representing all aspects of Van Gogh's life.

I am not fan of painting but this museum is amazing. It can take at least 2.5 hours to visit all four floors. You will learn about Van Gogh's early life, his initial paintings, and how he improved his painting by time. When you go there please take a look of Anton Mauve's paintings (Van Gogh's cousin by marriage). He... More
