Vincent van Gogh Reviews

Fantastic! Culture and knowledge ... a history lesson.

Nice museum. It can take minimunm 1 hour to see if u wanna see quickly only the best works

Don't need to tell you about the art and Van Gogh, but the museum is very nice with great audio experience. Highly recommend you to visit and enjoy even the shopping area.

Very well organized place with multimedia headsets taking you through Van Gogh's life and work. Both my photos are in the vicinity. Actual photos prohibited inside.

Fair. Crowded, and a bit small for the price. They kind of have the market cornered on the VVG collection tho, so if you want to see some of these pieces you don't have another choice. Building is pretty and decently laid out, although in places it's narrow which becomes quite an issue with all the people. The most frustrating thing is that a few portions of the museum have chosen wall colors that make it very hard to read the (white) text about the paintings unless you are right next to it. What an bad choice.

Beautiful museum and I'd definitely recommend the audio tour. It often provides new perspectives while you can enjoy the painting and is never too short or too long.

I gave it a four star rating because for a kid my age I got a bit bored but otherwise it uv very very butifull

Fascinating experience, learned a lot about Van Gogh, his life and work. A lot of his masterpieces present here, although a few notable absences (Starry Night is one that stuck out). Gets very busy and hard to get a good view of paintings so try to get a early morning tickets or late afternoon. Area around the museum is beautiful on a sunny day.

Good museum with nice people. Biggest van gogh collection in the world and it shows! Too bad we couldn't find the painting of the onions with the cabbages, that ones my favourite.

Beautiful storytelling (layout) of Van Gogh s progression of work and professional career. Recommend making reservations / purchase tickets ahead of time as day if tickets can be sold out.

I'm sorry I threw up in the elevator, I was super hungover. Great art of course.

Van Gogh is one of my favourite artists. So this was an important part of my trip. I was disappointed by the fact that we bought tickets online which then gave you a time for you to attend the museum. This did not seem to make a difference to the amount of people in the museum. I was very disappointed with people's behavior, people were rude not letting you enjoy looking at this extraordinary art and also taking photos when it explicitly says not to. I left before finishing my tour which saddened me greatly

Just wanted to buy a specific Van Gogh tie, but couldn't visit the museum shop without buying a ticket for the museum ~ which was impossible as they were sold out........

I like many people knew of Van Gogh due to his Starry Night painting and I wanted to see more of his artwork. I am glad that I went to this museum, there was more of his artwork that I absolutely loved. Which I purchased from the gift shop.
If you have time and want to learn of Van Gogh s life and artwork, then I recommend that you go.

It was very informative and I learnt a lot about the artist and the works he did. It is a must go for anyone visiting Amsterdam.

Truly recommended. Must go place in Amsterdam. I m not a huge fan of museums but do recommend this. Considering to take an audio guide. It was worth more than 5EUR.

Simply one of the best. Most of the painting here is awesome. Shows the true command of van Gogh on colours

Beautiful and extensive display of van Gogh's work. Well displayed in a comfortable environment

Worth every penny. Purchase the audio piece. Cafe was great too!

Amazing exhibition of his work, spanning his creative life in detail. Audio well worth the cost. And the staff are plentiful and helpful.

Amazing place to tinkle your brain. Vibrating and luxurious.
We ve made a guided tour of the most popular attractions and coffeshops a few weeks ago and we plan doing it again mid August.

Well worth the visit. Well laid out and organised. Tells the van Gogh story through his and other artists paintings.

It was so good, I forgot to take pictures. Highly recommend.

Rude service. Keep in mind - you are not the Van Gough. You are just workers!

One of the top three attractions in the city. Very well done. A trip through Van Gogh's life, art, and mind.

Wonderful museum, love how it is set up with a timeline and parts about his family. I'd recommend if you are staying in Amsterdam and want to visit to go early in the day, we went at 10:30am, and it was already quite busy, but more so when we left. Would definitely go again.

A treat for the eyes. Wonderful interactive experience with extensive information, guides for both adults and children. Also, a great museum store for buying stuff.

I had to walk a lot to get there but it was worth it. A must for anyone who admires art and dutch great masters.
Greeting from Mexico

A must visit in Amsterdam

A world largest collection of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh paintings at this Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, featuring the masterpieces such as Sunflowers, The Potato Eaters, Almond Blossom and The Bedroom.

No wonder they have over 2.5 millions visitors a year

Last year We stayed in Amsterdam for nearly one week, so we decided to buy a Museum pass which allow us the flexibility and visit over 400 Museum in Holland (knowing that since July 2018 they adjusted their policy, we were lucky to brought our pass in March 2018 which allowed us to extended to 12 months till March 2019 at no extra cost, an excellent value). If you are Museum lover, Suggest you check for the latest information. With our 12 months pass we simple present the pass they will issue a free entrance ticket (no need to book in advance)

Highly recommend

Amazing museum but, unfortunately very overcrowded (eventhough they sell tickets with time slots). Cant really enjoy paintings when room is that crowded. Worth visiting anyway.

PS book tickets online that's very easy and will save you the time in the line.

One of my favorite museum. Van gogh's art is way better when you face it than printed on books. The audio guide content and museum organization is on the point : accessible yet educational on historical, emotional, personal... Aspects. Highly recommended.
Carefull tickets are only sold online or on machines next to museum. Time slots are specified.

One of the best museums in the world for sure! It's quite large and will get very full of tourists, but if you get a reservation, you don't need to wait in the long line.

Beautiful artwork, however the museum itself was nothing exciting.

Beautiful art I just wish they had one of the most famous van Gogh paintings "the starry night". But oh well still an amazing experience!

Great Museum! If you enjoy Van Gogh you cannot miss this place! Well displayed.

Excellent collection without the best works of Van Gogh. Take the audioguide. For a mere 5 xtra, you get lots of info.

Well curated beautiful works that tell a remarkable story of the artist, his friends, his family, and the time in which he lived.

What an amazing experience to read about his life, see his work of art, see his family and all that made him who he was. One of the greatest artist.

I cannot believe I almost skipped this. It's incredible... well worth the line. Just be sure not to take any photos or videos... watched someone get kicked out.

It's one of the treasure for fine arts and painting lovers...one can find most of the Van Gogh works here... Worth it

I'm biased because I don't like art. Otherwise it could be a great place.

Really good museum, lots of works and information about van Gogh life in chronological order, and other works by his contemporaries

Great museum. Easy to get there from train station. I recommend reservation of tickets and time slot online on their website in advance. Then you can purchase right outside museum. Go early, less crowded.

Great place to learn about Vincent van Gogh, a very famous artist. A very interesting, but popular place to visit.

Really insightful experience regarding Van Gogh's life & art.

Great but groups are too loud. They mudt not allow large groups with vocal live guides. Groups must use head sets

We bought the tickets for the last entrance.
If you would enjoy the museum you have to move slowly through the rooms (specially if you have children...) and unfortunately we didn't complete our tour.

My mother and I visited the Van Gogh Museum as part of our trip to Amsterdam. My mother is a great fan of his work and was really happy to see so many of his original pieces.
The exibitions were well spaced out and very informative however it was very crowded and difficult to spend time with the pieces due to the amount of people.
Slightly disappointed about no Starry Night but was very impressed by other works I wasn't familiar with.
I would definitely recommend, if you are visiting a few museums and galleries I would re ommemd buying the museum pass as it will save you money :)

A little pricey but it's well worth visiting if you like the work of Van Gogh. Be aware, you cannot pay for entry with cash.

If you're a Van Gogh fan, this place is for you.
Amazing!

Fantastic! Absolute art gallery vibe. Lots of art from Van Goghs friends, inspirations, and family. Great structure inside the building as well.

best museum ever. deep dive into Van gogh life and also art works

Nice visit worth getting the audio guide, adds a lot

What is the purpose of e-ticket if you should stay in line? Very bad experience

Amazing museum where you can understand Van Gogh's paintings, you can immerse yourself in his life and see what took years to be noted by other collegues and critics of the 19th century: a true artist.
The view of the museum will take 2/3 hours, depending on personal interests and use of audioguide (that I strongly suggest). There are also games for youngsters that will help them to keep up their interest.
After my visit I understood why this museum is a MUST If you visit Amsterdam

Really cool place, even though I hate art went with friends, and had a good time. Entry is reasonably priced, but each ticket or QR code can only be scanned once, so you can't leave the museum and come back in after. Upon entry you are in the big open store, which has cool, high quality gifts and items, from keyrings to 400 vases and even dog clothing, so really fun to look through.
There is a linear walkthrough on V.G's life, mental illness and work which are interesting and well made. There is also a large open room dedicated to his 'sunflowers', work information about how many he made, the wax used to presyence it after (and how this was wrong etc) and the palates he used (I know nothing about art sorry if this info is too basic). There is also an authentic piece in this room. To get to this room there is a few flights of easy to climb stairs.
There is a painting workshop where you can be helped recreate or interpret some of his works, but don't try to find/crease your painting when you take it with you, it upsets the staff
I can't remember if there are toilets, sorry
There is not seating inside the museum, but outside there is places to buy food, clothes, more van Gogh gifts and sit down.
Photography is allowed, but signs forbid any photography using flash or noise, so silent photos only

An awe inspiring afternoon in the midst of Masterpieces of Dutch Art

What an amazing museum! What a fascinating personality. The museum takes you through his life, his work, his influences, his mental illness and his death. It is an awe to this unique man.

Great exhibit about a great artist. Admission a little pricey, and you have to pay extra for the audio guide.

Fantastic museum with lots of exhibits. Was especially impressed with the information that came with many of the paintings and the ones about the deterioration of van goghs mental health. Good cafe and reasonably priced gift shop.

Saw the Van Gogh Japan exhibition, very interesting and well educated! Its a shame, but understandable, that photos arent allowed

Great collection of Van Gogh. The audio guide is informative and well organized. Kind staff

What I liked the best is an intertainment for kids there - kind of quiz game so they learn about Van Gohg and earn a small prize.

Had a great experience at museum and came to know a lot about Van Gogh .. nice place if you are into art and digging history

Went to see the David Hockney/Van Gogh exhibition which is absolutely fabulous.

A very well-designed museum with plenty of exhibits. This is not a spur-of-the-moment visit because they often sell out several days in advance or only late-day tickets are available. We bought our tickets for 6:30pm at the kiosk near the I Amsterdam sign and would like to have gone earlier because there is so much to see.

Although Van Gogh was an incredibly prolific artist himself, quite a few works displayed are from his contemporaries who either inspired or were inspired by Van Gogh. I highly recommend the extra-cost audio guide, especially if you're pressed for time and can only see the highlights.

It's really lovely and with the audio guide, really quite interesting as Van Gogh wrote a lot of letters and you really get a good picture of his development as a person and a painter.

That being said, even with the throttling that the museum does, i found myself at times waiting for quite a bit for crowds to move out of the way so I could see or hear a piece. I recommend going early in the morning but even then, at peak tourist season I would imagine it is at capacity all day.

*Remember that you cannot buy tickets on the spot and need to book in advance along with your arrival time!*

it's ok for who one wants to visit really only pictures, but 21 it's for me absolutely too much.

Van Gogh museum is one of the best museums and is a dream for Van Gogh lovers.

Absolutely worth a visit! Grab an audio guide and take your time reading all the info material. Took me around 2-3 hours to see everything. Besides the amazing paintings there is a lot of information on Van Gogh's life, his family with lots of letters. You can listen to the content of the letters on audio devices, though they are fairly old and there is always just one little speaker that you hold to your ear, so waiting times might occur for that.
Also a great coat service, free of charge!

Great place. With great paintings. The audio tour is worth it but it's funny that his most famous painting isn't even here. USA all the way

This museum is organized so well. You start off on the first floor learning about his family and desire to become an artist, followed by some elaboration on his training and mentorship under other French artists, leading up to the last year of his life when he produced probably the majority of his work. No pictures to show because it seemed the museum was a fairly protective of the pieces, which is understandable. I suggest going early, I went in the later evening (3 pm) and it was difficult to work at my own pace through the different sections and pieces. Lot of people using the audio tour guide and causing a "traffic jam" in many areas, tended to wiggle my way around them to read the descriptions, observe the art, and move on.

I really enjoyed the Van Gogh Museum! This museum is located in a convenient spot and easy to navigate if you buy your tickets in advance. We arrived using the hop on hop off canal boat tour. But this is easily accessed walking from Amsterdam Central Station or taking the 52 Metro toward Zuid getting off Zizelgracht and following the signs. Once in the museum each floor displays beautiful works of art throughout the course of the artists life. There are detailed descriptions that gives you a vivid depiction of a time and place for each piece of art. I especially like the history of the Van Gogh family.

Unbelievable. Vincent Van Gogh still manages to explode in your eyes. A pity the place is too crowded and noisy. I wonder if there is a time or a day when the visitors are seriously shushed and the magic can be complete. Prices at the cafeteria are preposterous.

Exquisite collection. Best to buy tickets online well in advance of your visit.

Really great experience loved the art, only problem is that found an ear in my food :(

That was just astonishing. Even for me - person who's not very into art. If you have a chance to visit this place - you definitely should do it. You won't regret

Fantastic!! Very informative about his life and nicely layed out and displayed

Very interesting place with so much information. His art work is displayed beautifully and hours of time to take it in.
Highly recommended and the staff are kind and helpful. Easy to locate with regards to road access!

Great artwork, over three huge floors. Van Gogh's dream is the best exposition I have ever experienced. It's focused on the feelings of van Gogh.

A lot to see, and very interesting. Do special exhibits first or you ll be too tired!

A museum that you should visit when you come to Amsterdam.

Beautiful works of art. Everybody should make time to visit.

Great museum. They also have art pieces of Munch and other painters. Easy to access.
