Great experience! Even though I'm not that into art, I really enjoyed it. Also, I think it is one of th few places where the optional extra 5 that you pay for the voice guide is totally worth it. The experience wouldn't have been the same without it.
Beautiful new museum and the artwork is interesting and well laid out so that you can navigate around the space easily. I would recommend booking in advance as sometimes it s hard to get tickets if they are sold out. The gift shop is also worth a look
I really like Vincent Van Gogh! If you are the same as me, then you must visit this museum even if it s getting more and more expensive every year! I recommend you to have a reservation time in Summer seasons, or it would be easily to get crowded and have to queue in line waiting for the admission. In winter time, you can just go directly to the ticket counter and buy the ticket. Not so many ppl then because it is really cold there even if it s not snowy in Amsterdam~
But the paintings inside are not as many as you think! Sometimes some pairings would be lent to other countries like Japan or New York! It s better than Rijusuem indeed!
I promise to take a visit as you have some free time in Amsterdam, not just for the weeds there
great museum!! especially the audio guide it worth it - it ll bring you into Vincents life and paint you a picture of how he lived!
Words can't describe the experience of this exceptional artists work.
If you enjoy art, then you will absolutely like this museum, oh and you definitely want to buy your tickets online, to avoid the very long queue.
A well curated museum, busy and crowded, but that's expected given it's popularityand. I only wished we had more time to read all the letters Vincent sent his brother Theo.
Very informative, wibderful collection, well organized. Highly recomend.
Really interesting museum. Does a good job of walking you through van Gogh's life
If you are a fan of Van Gogh or art in general this place is a must. Awesome building and everything was perfect. Recommend going during the evening when the atmosphere gets even better!
Incredible museum. Vincent van Gogh s masterpieces.
i have been there more then 20 times. really outstanding place!
Nice but they should not sell ear shaped keychains at the end. Bad taste.
Super interesting. It doesn t take long to see it all. Recommended to buy tickets online
This was my reason to visit Amsterdam and I was not disappointed!!! I loved it..every second of it! Thank you for keeping Vincent's memory alive and letting a dream of mine come true! I still tear up when I think about walking by all the world's best art!
Great experience! I hate art and my wife made me go with her to the van Gogh museum and it was worth it. After reading about van Gogh and his art in the museum, I appreciate him and his art a lot more
Beautiful way through van gogh's life. You'll get to know everything about this crazy amazing painter!
Excellent museum with the life of Van Gogh, there are multiple famous works from other artists that lived in Paris during the same time of Van Gogh. It is highly recommended to get the Audio device!
I'm giving it a lower rating because this museum is very small and INCREDIBLY crowded compared to other museums in Amsterdam. The art is amazing, but given the number of people crowded around every painting, its quite hard to enjoy. Unlike most other museums, going early doesn't mean less people. I asked a staff on the way out if it was always this busy, and they explained it was actually quiet that day. I honestly can't imagine what it would be like on a busy day.
Amazing collection of the mans paintings. Beautiful collection. I saw the Sunflowers!!
Great experience. Nice service. Ticket via internet. Perfect day also the coffee via the van gogh shop
Great experience and insightful. Awesome food at the restaurant. I truly learnt a lot.
A must visit when you come to Amsterdam. The paintings are awesome!
Impressive, on several floors. Can be crowded, so book your tickets and visiting hours online.
Nice space, well curated but felt a bit short on key pieces.. And somehow I don't think Vincent would have appriciate the commercialisation of his work to the extent that it is in the gift shop. Bit OTT
One hour tour with lots of information about Van Gogh life and art. One of the best museums I ve ever been.
We really enjoyed this experience, dedicated to renowned artist and his impact on the art world.
This museum was sooo cool. I loved it including the interactive shoot. The wait was a little long but not that bad. I purchased tickets ahead of time and you can check your coat and belongings for free.
While the story about Van Gogh and his friends and people who influenced his art can be viewed here, I found it sad to not see very much of Van Gogh himself. And for that I found the price was a bit too high. Also, the food offered inside as well as the drinks are just way too expensive!
Visited Van Gogh with a guide from Babylon tours. Museum not be missed in Amsterdam.
A wonderful museum. You wont find Starry Night here, but you will see a lot of Van Gogh's work and understand artistic process.
Good museum, but I though it gonna be bigger. Also, it's better to buy tickets online to avoid queues.
I love this museum I have seen more Van Gogh art at this place than any other museum in the world, it is worth the visit.
A must-visit-place in Amsterdam. Most of Van Gogh's masterpieces were presented there. Take an audio guide (5 euro) and enjoy the full history of the genius. by the way if you have separate earphones you can take only 1 audio guide for 2 ;) Enjoy!!!
This is one of the best museums I've ever visited. The whole museum flows from his early days to his final works. There are detailed explanations about his techniques. It is a very informative museum.
I recommend it for kids as well
One of the best museums/galleries I have been to, well set out, lovely architecture and beautiful art work. Must do when in Amsterdam
The van gogh /hockney exhibition was very good. I liked how the 2 artists were placed side by side for comparison. Very moving was van Gogh's tree roots, his last painting which was unfinished. I liked hockney's 3D picture of an art gallery, you felt you could step inside.
Very well done museum. Learned a lot about the life of Van Gogh.
Fantastic museum!! The exposition is well orrganised and the entrance system is good. The audioguide is worth the price, it's very well built and in some parts also a bit interactive. If you are in Amsterdam, you can't miss this place!!
Great exhibition of the Master's creations.... His genius and tragic life will touch every one. Excellent museum.....
Amazing museum do yourself a favor and pay for the guided tour and go as soon as they open
Really interesting. It's easy to find your way around and everything is available in English. You get to know Van Gogh through more than just his paintings.
This was a highlight of our trip to Amsterdam. We spent 7 hours there, including a worship on portrait s where we did self portraits. It was the only way I could afford to take home an original from there
Spectacular collection of Van Gogh paintings and Hockney exhibition too. Fabulous.
Really great museum, had a lot of fun. Many famous works and not only Van Gogh's. Wasn't too overcrowded, navigation was simple.
Very nice museum. So much information about Vincent's history, many letters to his brothers and obviously some of his best paintings.
Great museum to learn about the life and work of Van Gogh. Really interesting and complete. Recommended if you are visiting Amsterdam during some days. Don't forget to book tickets previously. There are other art museums close to this one, besides, the area is very beautiful and green. It was not clearly specified the fact that it is not allowed to take pictures in the museum. Take care with that, I saw some people having to abandon some galleries after taking a picture with the phone.
Well organized and clear description! The places for self exploring are really wonderful. The only pity is that the museum is more and more commercial. No any pictures is allowed, why?! Too many commercial products for sale:-(
Great place! Make sure you have at least 3 hours to spend there, otherwise it doesn't make sense going there. Also the audio guide fulfills the atmosphere.
Very large building and extremely busy. Too many people to be able to have a decent look at paintings. Everyone walks around like a zombie listening to the audio tour.
Van Gogh isn't my favourite artist so this experience didn't help.
I preferred the Moco museum next door.
If they've sold out online, try the window at the museum store around the corner, they release tickets for available time slots and if you can be flexible it's an easy way to go. Lots of self portraits, and no Starry Night, but still a nice collection.
The museum is beautiful and well managed,especially the audio guide it worth it - it ll bring you into Vincents life and paint you a picture of how he lived!
It was nice to see the familiar pictures painted by Vincent van Gogh. You als learn more about his life and his friends. Today was very busy, a bit too busy.
Art in this museum was dedicated to educating about Van Gogh's life. It was arranged based on periods in his life and included art that inspired his style as well as most of his personal work.
The museum was very accessable to handicapped and non-native speakers including elevators and audio tours in most languages
This was part of a must do stop off during a short cruise . Unfortunately by the time we got there, around 4pm the museum had stopped selling tickets for the day. I can only suggest if you visit this place you should pre book tickets or at least get there in the morning
Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists. It was thrilling to see so many of his paintings and to learn so much about his personal story.
take an audio guide... it is simply wow. was disappointed not to see his famous self portrait and the starry nights . but the insights on his creative evolution and his thoughts was amazing.
An outstanding collection of one of the most talented and strange artists. The timeline is laid out nicely. Easy to follow steps. Tickets are reasonable. The plaza where the museum is located is surrounded by multiple other museums, cafes , and pleasant restaurants.
Really vreat collection of van Gogh paintings and letters. Even some contemporaries like Gauguin and Vlaminck. But there are no pictures allowed. I imagine this is mostly to keep people moving and so everyone can see things easily...it is by far the most popular museum in Amsterdam.
It seems to be less crowded during the last two hours of the opening time.
Very nice museum containing an impressive collection of Van Gogh art pieces. Make sure you buy your ticket online because there is a limited number of visitors allowed into the museum at a specific time. The audio guide is very useful. Be aware that you are not allowed to take pictures except in a few places, and you are not allowed to carry large backpacks or luggage inside the museum.
Rich exhibition of famous Van Gogh. I did seen his well know paintings, but also learn about history of each exhibit with audio system. Download of some was available too.
Also lots of information about his life, family and friends.
The exhibition is well visited and has to be booked particular hour to enter.
A must visit for every Art fan. The life work of the most famous painter in the world. All his art is displayed for us to see
I like the simple modernist architecture of the museum. Good collection of van Gogh main works. The museum is also of the right size, not too big for my children. A tacky collection of over-commercialised artsy souvenirs at the shop.
Opened in 1973, the Van Gogh Museum has the largest collection of works by Vincent Van Gogh in the world.
This includes 200 paintings, 500+ drawings and 750 letters, as well as pieces by contemporaries and influences like Rodin, Monet, Signac, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet and Gauguin.
With more than 2.1 million visitors a year, the Van Gogh Museum is the most popular museum in the Netherlands.
Very good layout and shows the progression of Van Gogh's talent and life. I learnt a lot from this museum. Advisable to book tickets online to avoid the queue/ waiting for a time-slot but the queues seemed to move fast.
It is a real shame that some people think the rules don't apply to them and take photos on their phones despite the multiple signs that state "no photos".
Incredible place to visit. Museum does a great job of displaying Van Gogh's painting while telling his life story. Would highly recommend visiting!
Fantastic museum, a wonderful audio guide that brings his pictures to life.
Will visit again.
My favorite painter in the world. Emotional journey of seeing van gogh s unknown art and his highlights. The sunflower and the almond blossom are here.
Breathtaking. And a lot to take in in a single visit. We're planning Part 2 before heading back to the States so we can really savor the experience!
Excellent museum. But there are many people in summer time. Pay tickets online
Loved seeing all the artwork and hearing more about Vincent. What I didn't like was all the stupid idiots that still insisted on taking pictures despite the millions of signs and me tapping them on the shoulder to remind them. People read and obey the signs they're there for a reason!!!!
I have want to go forever. It was Amazing. It was not over crowded and I loved that the most.
A Good museum, tickets ONLY online, when we get at the museum we had to buy the tickets online, fast and easy to get them. Inside the museum, my personal opinion is that the order is not intuitive, you can found a section of friends next to the artist influenced by Van Gogh. The route trought the museum isnt an easy one, on way tour. Best hours to visit by moring as there arent so many groups going.
The temporary David Hockney exhibition adds value - he was notably inspired by van Gogh and also added his own dimensions (one of them clearly, size! Size matters). The master Vincent himself conveys even more emotions, especially in his work made in the asylum. The Starry Night, perhaps his most beloved painting, regrettably is in the MOMA in New York City since 1941 - may it one day return to Amsterdam.
Great museum. A bit expensive but it's worth it. I recommend getting an audio guide to better experience the museum.
In theory, pictures of the paintings are not allowed.
Beautiful museum - really worth the visit if you're in Amsterdam!
Really impressive. Loved all the paintings. Such an amazing artist.
You must book at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance during the summer months otherwise chances are you will not be able to buy tickets on the day so save yourself the disappointment and buy tickets in advance of your visit.
An extremely busy museum, unlike the other museums in Amsterdam, they do not crowd control much. Too many people to enjoy the experience. Went at 2pm on a Tuesday. Other than that, nice works of art!
Learned so much from Van Gogh - heartwearming to see a museum celebrating his work and sharing his inspirations with artists today. Enjoyed the David Hockney exhibit too!
WYSIWYG. Important note, you must reserve a date with time to get into the museum. The price is reasonable relative to Amsterdam prices, besides the musuem is very crowded.
Amazing collection of Van Gogh's work. Bright and airy building with a few large murals so you can safely take a picture with his work without damaging his paintings. They have a nice kiosk for coffee and snacks. It would be nice if they had a real cafe but this place is so busy I can see why they don't have a spot for people to park for hours! Lots of nice souvenirs to choose from.
Security staff as well as the manager boldly assumed that a friend would be a potential terrorist based on his appearance only and put him and many others into an uncomfortable situation. I do not support this kind of behaviour because it is simply racist!!
l went to the David Hockney/Van Gogh exhibition. I loved it but today is the last day. The paintings were beautifully displayed with an audio tour for 5 Euros extra. There is a beautiful book to go with the exhibition too.
It s a great collection. The customer service here was fantastic. They were flexible with me when I ran into some issues with missing my scheduled time. If you are a fan of art, and naturally Van Gogh, then you should definitely stop by.
Good collection, but no photos, expensive merch and many rooms very poorly lit.
Great museum to visit. Details the life of Van Gogh and the paintings are superb. Good restaurant with lots of healthy choice. Shops on site selling lots of arty stuff. Lots of walking involved but good access for wheelchair users as well. Would recommend.
Book on line avoid the queues. It's worth taking at least an hour for the 19 to be really worth it. Lovely vibe in there and phenomenally good artworks. A good story to it all if you have the time.
