Vincent van Gogh Reviews

Great museum made even better with the visiting Hockney exhibition 'The Joy of Nature'

Beautiful gallery with a nice organization of the life of Van Gogh. Still very busy regardless of timed entry. Highly recommend.

I have seen Van Gogh"s art in several museums around the world. But this one is just amazing and gives a glimpse into the painter"s life!

Absolutely wonderful
I've really enjoyed Van Gogh experience throughout his works. No regrets

We are all lovers of art to certain degrees. Van Gogh s Sunflower and Iris are so prolific that we take them for granted. Visiting the museum thought, gave us an opportunity to delve into the person that is Van Gogh, his humanity, his struggle and how he viewed the world.

Tips - book your ticket online in advance. You won t be able to enter the museum until the time on the ticket, so if you were planning to eat in the museum prior to seeing the paintings, you will not be able to.

The gift shop is very nice though. The guided tour (electronic) is well worth the 5 euro.

It's a great place!! If you love Van Gogh you have to go!!

I love art, but don't feel like your missing out on anything if you can't get a chance to stop here.

I went early to avoid the crowds. How could you not give this museum high marks. My only disappointment was some works were on other international displays. I could gaze upon Van Gogh's work the entire day. A man full of emotion and turmoil displaying his version of life. I will return.

A very nice museum, we enjoyed it a lot. Ticket reservation can only be made online these days, which prevents long lines at the museum entrance (I was there 5 years ago and we didn't enter because of the lines, and the last time we bought the tickets online, there was no line whatsoever, and everything went quickly and smoothly). Everything is wheelchair and stroller-accessible, too.

I love Van Gogh artworks, so of course I totally enjoyed my tour. The museum is very well organized, not too crowded in the morning (during the week, I don't know about the weekends) and thanks to the audioguide I was able to enjoy the experience and have an indepth explanation of every painting.
The whole visit took me circa 3 hours, but just because I was in a bit of hurry to catch my plane. Otherwise I think you can spend 4-5 hours inside the museum.

Seeing so many Van Goghs in one day is emotionally exhausting, but exhilarating at the same time. This alone is worth the trip to Amsterdam.

The paintings were great but the museum itself felt a bit dated and very dark especially the first two floors and no air with so many people. Ticket sales were slowed down by the fact you have to purchase them online when you arrive (what if you don't have a phone?!?!) And then it repeatedly asked you for a donation for the museum which at 19 a pop per visitor & they have cut costs with no machines or ticket sellers felt reeeeeally cheeky for one of the busiest tourist attractions in Amsterdam.

Van Gogh life was a tragedy. To be so famous now and to live in misery and madness then is hard to comprehend. This museum explains it well.

The audio tour makes for a more immersive experience. It feels as if a story is conveyed through his paintings (especially how they change across his life).

Reserve your tickets online and in advance; as of May 2018 you had up until 30 minutes after your chosen time slot to present yourself at the entrance. Inside, navigate the four floors of the museum which not only house Van Gogh's pieces but also those of who inspired him and those of who he in turn inspired, in addition to letters and other memorabilia. The second floor was the most crowded and also where we spent the most time appreciating his early works. Finally, the in-museum restaurant fittingly serves up a buffet of photo-worthy dishes.

This place is definitely worth to be visited. Kind service, artistic atmosphere, spacey modern building. Be ready to spend hours and hours there!

Must do in Amsterdam! Go on a week day if you can so busy. Don't bring a bag if you can help it save time

Every painting is worth millions. Even if you don t like art, come and stare at the money!

Superb exhibition - so lucky the Japanese influence one was running as well! So much beauty, life material and exceptional setup!! Not to be missed!!!

Great museum and learning about the life of Van Gogh and his work of paintings and drawings. There is 3 floors and all are accessible with elevator access and there is a cafe to take a break and rest. Entrance was simple and painless. I enjoyed my visit.

Google Maps are always Accurate about Location + INFORM Visitors about Nearby places to Visit & enjoy. I am proud of Your Humble Services.

Well worth a visit, and then a repeat one. Love this museum!

Great experience and history of Van Gogh and how his brother and wife help a true genius in the art world . My only regret is not having more time to soak in the 4 floors of breath taking painters skills and styles. Give yourself at least 4 hours .

If you what to see some Van Gogh then this is the place for you. Just make sure you book in advance as you can only enter at the time you selected when booking.

The Van Gogh Museum was one of my favorite things to visit in Amsterdam. I would recommend getting the I Amsterdam City Card, which gives you access to the other museums in the area, then you can make a day of just museums. You can explore several floors of Van Gogh s works and his personal letters. The museum is well laid out and the wait is not long. Be sure to schedule a day and time online well in advance of your visit.

This museum was awesome, our only regret was that we didn't get there early enough to account for how long we were going to stay there. The museum is worth the money as well as the audio guide. Trust me, pay the couple extra dollars and do the audio tour. The audio tour offered three different options (which you could select from and change to if you didn't like one of the guides). It provides a unique and fast-paced experience to learn about Van Gogh's life/background and how it influenced his different pieces of art. It really enhanced my experience there, and I left our visit knowing a lot more about Van Gogh. Also the gift shop has a nice selection of books/souvenirs.

A good museum to go to. Look out for his best works, they are all there.

Fantastic museum that really gives you a sense of who Van Gogh was, how his worked evolved, and why he died so young. What an incredible artist he was!

FYI *The 5 listening device is DEFINITELY worth it and gives you a much richer experience!*

The Van Gogh museum has done a fantastic job chronicling the life of the great impressionist Van Gogh. The museum layout takes you through his story and helps you to really understand the Man behind the paintings. The collection is really extensive and you will definitely recognize a lot of his masterpieces. The facilities at the museum is excellent although they do need more elevators. Tickets are online only but there are no queues!

This museum has a selection of Van Gogh's work along with some interesting pieces from those he admired. The Sunflowers canvas is displayed brilliantly and the are eariler works of his to show his progression as an artist.

Fantastic museum and great gift shops . Definately worth a visit when visiting Amsterdam...

Amazingly huge museum. Spent like 4.5hours inside. Prebook your tix so you won't need to queue to buy tix or scared that it is sold out.

Very busy, even during it's off season. The artwork is beautiful though and worth the trip I would say. I would probably go back if it weren't for the crowds. Definably book your tickets online in advance too, they sell out fast. Overall I enjoyed my experience.

Im not a BIG fun of museums, but this one is worth seeing. The whole galery is very interesting especially with audio guide.

A great museum, that allows you to get up close to Vincent's paintings

What a beautiful Museum; it's very informative and well organized. What i mostly liked about it that it's not allowed to take pictures, so you can enjoy your time going through the paintings into Van Gough World & mind without distractions. I'll visit it again for sure!!!

For all fine art lovers. Needs no introduction. No pictures allowed except a few selected points.
They have two musuem shops. Both offer discounts on different merchandise.

Buy tkts early to avoid queue. Don't carry bags and jackets because the queue for storing those are equally long.

Cafe is excellent!

Make sure you book as we turned up and was turned away. We booked for the following day online. A nice experience if you appreciate this type of thing. It was very busy so not always easy to look at certain exhibits but there is plenty to see.

my favorite museum ever, i loved how you could follow van gogh s entire life journey and see the pieces he created in different parts of his life. wish I couldve spent more time here. it s a must see for anyone visiting Amsterdam!

Wonderful museum. We all learned so.much about Vincent. Our teenage boys even bought items in the gift shop (quite extensive). Beautiful things there! ;)

Very cool and informative even if you don't have a back ground in art. The history of van gogh is very fascinating.

Must visit place in Amsterdam... Culture, history you name it.... Just beautiful

Very detailed show, included lots of works from artists surrounding Van Gogh and Van Gogh himself. The timeline shown was a nice addition as well. The museum was quite large and I ended up spending about four hours enjoying the art. I was visiting with someone in a wheel chair at the time, and considering this, the museum was exceptionally accessible. elevators reach every floor and all hallways were wide enough to not cause any issue. i would like to add however, some of the restrooms were a little underwhelming in size. this was slightly unconfortable but not a show stopper. overall it was a great place to visit.

Currently showing Sunflowers as the museum will not be lending it out to other museums for the foreseeable future

It's nice experience. Suggest to inculcate the tourists in using the multimedia.

Such a neat look into a sad but beautiful life <3. Easy to navigate with the audio guide.

The Museum is simply breathtaking and the stuff super friendly! The multimedia tour , which by the way I totally recommend, added a whole new level to the whole experience. The fact that it was not so crowded on a Saturday morning is a huge plus for me!

The museum is awesome. The Miller display was even better than the main feature.

Well laid out. Superb experience of fantastic art and comprehensive historical story. Emotional.

To see Van Gogh s painting is breathtaking...a must see

4 floors of van goghs paintings and story - get the audio guide, it s super easy to use and stories are short. I was disappointed it didnt have starry night - turns out that s in new york! Gift shop had some cool stuff. I d recommend it you like art, was fascinating to see how his style changed over the years and getting a glimpse into his life. We didn t book online and got lucky - hardly stood in line for 5 mins and got immediate entry. The people standing before us only got tickets for an hour later, i guess it s just your luck! Probably better to book in advance to be safe.

Loved the audio tour!! Suitable for people who doesn't understand a lot in art, like me :)

Arguably my favorite museum in Amsterdam! The way the works are organized is engaging and easy to follow. The building itself is beautiful and of course Van Gogh s paintings are stunning and timeless!

For lovers of art and culture, there's a "must see" place. You go on a trip through life and work of this great artist. It's possible to buy tickets online. That's really nice!

Great selection of works, audio guides available, but not 100% needed. Plenty of info dotted around each section

Very clean all round. Very interesting to see Vincent's full history and original paintings.

Supermarket just outside should you need to take refreshments in with you.

It truly is worth going. The price for a ticket and an audio guide (which I would recommend) is just too steep (22 ) but I don't regret paying it. The paintings and the information you get through the audio guide helps you see and truly understand not only the fascinating paintings but also the painter. Van Gogh was a genius. Definitely worth going!

If you want to know about van Gogh the person, then you have to go! His sunflowers are the final product of his lifelong search for personal expression. If you are just mildly curious about his art, then four floors of van Gogh might be overkill.

Amazing place to visit.perfectly structured The amount of painting on display is truly incredible. Definitely worth the visit.

Modern architecture, very spacious. We had only one hour to see, and was not enough.

Beautiful museum, have walking tours in many different languages.

Great place to visit to get lost in the world of Van Gogh. Staff could be more friendly though... so only a 3 instead of a 5.

Outstanding museum and art. Very moving to see how Van Gogh struggled, against all the odds and right until his death, to produce beautiful art unlike any other. If only he had known what pleasure he would bring to millions and how much now he is appreciated. Don't miss it.

Simply can't miss it! I finally saw Sunflowers and have a new favourite Van Gogh now after seeing it..The Almond Blossoms!

Excelent museum. Every piece is carefully displayed and explained in dutch and in english. It is useful to buy tickets in advance. Kids under 12 do not pay when accompanied by a paying adult and they get an audioguide if the adult has paid for one. The audioguide was useful and entertaining for the kids and they learnt a great deal about Van Goghs work and life. Photography is not allowed and the museum shop does not accept cash, only cards. The museum buffet restaurant is very nice with diferent options but quite expensive.

Fantastic museum. Would recommend by guided tours done every hour or so

You need to order the tickes online and with time in advance. I reached there and everything was sold out, so I could not enter. But still remains a place I would like to see.

The museum itself is not that bad but... You can not really enjoy the art as everyone is making photos of every picture or even selfiess with every single picture. And after taking the picture, people are starring in front of the painting to their mobiles. It was very disturbing. I know there are signs that you are not allowed to take a picture but apparently nobody was there to remind it. I was very disappointed and did not enjoy the gallery at all.

It's takes a while to go through everything but definitely worth it. If you love art, definitely worth going here while in Amsterdam.

Vincent Van Gogh .... one of the greatest painters in our history. Finally saw his real masterpieces with my bear eyes. Breath taking moments. Definitely recommend for family quality tour time.

I came as a tourist and it was pretty much what I expected. Very clean, an extensive collection of Van Gogh art- not just his paintings. It was a bit crowded when I went, but I still made it to the gift shop where I got a cute little stack of cards - appropriately designed - for only like $3.

A great and interesting museum of his work. They do not have the works he is most known for. But an excellent collection nonetheless.

Really liked seeing how Van Gogh's style and intent changed over time. Audio tour was informative and interesting. It would be nice if it were proximity-based instead of having to find the numbers on the signs each time. Overall definitely worth the visit.

Awesome museum that features a part in which you deep dive into Van Gogh undeniable style and family context.

There are also plenty of his most famous auto portraits. If you want to go then buy your tickets online and skip the waiting line

Fun museum but could have used more information into van Gogh's troubled history instead of being vague in the explanation of his last years of life

I got baked and took pics even though the security were not allowing people to do so. Because I was stoned, I felt like they were gonna get me, but they never did.

Anyway, the art was incredible. He was one talented, albeit troubled, man. I am proud to say I stood looking for hours into the eyes of his portraits, and am pretty sure I understood him. Thanks Vincent. x

Everything is very well arranged, so you can easily get to know the stories and life of Van Gogh I won't forget this place for a long time,

Enjoyed the Van Gogh Museum, the audio tour as you wander has some out-takes on every piece of art that adds to them and is really nice. The timeslot system makes the place not as crowded. Well worth the visit.

I remembered it being so amazing the first time I went... It was decidely a letdown.

I love visiting museums but found Van Gogh boring.

One of those 'must visit' places, even if you aren't especially into art. The museum is extremely well laid out, the audio tour is excellent, and it is a good size--an extensive collection without being overwhelming. If you haven't seen Van Gogh's work in person, make the effort. My husband, who is only sort-of interested in art and had never before appreciated Van Gogh, found himself profoundly moved by seeing this work in person. There is a texture and depth to his brush work and a vibrancy to the colors which aren't adequately conveyed in print. The museum really takes you through the life and struggle of Van Gogh, which gives a certain perspective on the work as you view it.

Incredible, so much history, the pictures were brilliant. No stress to getting tickets, although pre-ordering them is probably a good idea, also worth noting you can't take big bags in, and tram goes straight outside, around the museum there's several places to eat, and tbh I was fairly impressed by the prices in the gift shop, not as much of a rip off as they could be. Would definitely recommend if you're in Holland.

Very underwhelmed as it s super crowded and no way you can enjoy a painting without hundreds of people blocking you in order to take a nice photo

You should visit it if you love Van Gogh! Book tickets online beforehand! Come earlier, before 12, after that much more people come. We spent around 4 hours at museum.
