The first available ticket I could get online was 27 Apr, 2 weeks from booking. It was much later that I found out it's King's Day and buses will be re-routed because the city centre will be closed to traffic. I wrote to the museum and they sent me a link for transport. Not helpful.
On that day, the ns.nl app gave me the wrong station to stop at. When I finally reached the museum, I was told to wait in line because i'll only be let in 5 min before my timing of 12.30pm. A long string of us queued in the cold rain getting wetter by the minute, looking at the cosy people inside the EMPTY museum foyer. Why couldn't they let us wait inside?
Finally got in and there's a Q for audio guide and a Q for coats and bags. That took more than 10 minutes. Then of course, the Q for toilet before going to the cafe for a hot drink. That took 30 minutes. I wonder why the museum can't give a grace period of 15 minutes before entry time for patrons to do all this?
Nevertheless, I had fun. First off, I saw the sign that the atelier was open for watercolour workshop. I had fun doing a little piece a la VVG.
All in, the museum itself was worth the entire 2 hours I spent commuting, the half hour in the rain and Qs, and the 5 hours I carefully looked at the artwork of Vincent and his contemporaries and those inspired by him, like David Hockney. If Vincent had but lived another 10 years, he may have evolved into a style as modern as David's. He was that visionary and insightful. I'm glad Vincent left us a huge legacy despite dying young at 37. Such a genius.
