Minh VuMarch 26, 2017Take audio guide. If you own a museumkaart or go with a group, you can enter in a special entrance (ask staffs for location). You can save tones of time by avoiding long queuing line.
Domunix CelinyOctober 29, 2014Anyone who doesn't know much about art should visit this place, you'll appreciate some of these pieces of art. The free wifi is an added bonus. Also the souvenir store ships world wide
JessicaJune 7, 2016It's a must if you're in Amsterdam, gives a whole new perspective about Vincent's work. The multimedia guide is definitely worth buying.
Ferdy van BerkelAugust 19, 2018This museum houses the world’s largest Van Gogh art collection. A must see when you visit Amsterdam. I personally like his way of painting landscapes.
- João GonçalvesSeptember 27, 2016And to the last place I leave the most obvious. It's mandatory to see how important van Gogh was to the world of painting. All his great artworks are displayed here.
B. Aaron TalbotMarch 18, 2017the absolute best time to go is on friday evenings when it is less crowded w music playing, a wine bar downstairs and an interactive video installation playing...fantastic
Rasha F EGY ⛳️April 28, 2016Best museum ever! my friend Van Gogh.. When madness turn into magic .. Take the audio set 5€ worth it ..enjoy
- Stefanie LadanghMarch 5, 2016Don't forget to order your tickets online, so you don't have to queue! And take a look at the temporary exhibition. It's often very nice too
Victor EscobedoDecember 26, 2015This place is incredible! A must if you travel alone or with the family! Vincent is a truly master! The way he expressed himself through painting is remarkable!
M HApril 16, 2015Fantastic museum, absolutely worth visiting. Don't forget to pre-order online tickets, so you can skip the queue.
Deb 👑 TApril 21, 2015The audio guide was so good and interesting. The museum is so worth it. I totally loved it.
Vanessa TFebruary 2, 2017Great selection of Van Gogh's great works. But if you want to see Starry Night, go to NY! Also, don't get caught taking pictures of the paintings! Nasty female guard on 1.
Kevin GrantMay 20, 2017Really well laid out exhibit, really glad I didn't miss this one. The line for tickets is long, but if you have the museum pass I think you can skip it.
Mykolas PetrauskasJuly 23, 2015Lots of van Gogh's and his contemporaries painting, including some of most famous ones. Tells the story beyond paintings - also his life. Avoid long queues with a Museum card.- Sarah DMay 30, 2017A little pricey to get in but well worth it if you're a fan of Van Gogh. This museum allows you to see the progression of his color palette and techniques over his life.
- Hana VMarch 31, 2016Very nice museum, can be very busy at times. Getting the audio guide makes your visit more interesting!
Mizna KkApril 14, 2017Art lovers you will love this place note:skip the lines book online add the multimedia for a full experience ++ the museum's restaurant has the best tomato soup
Lena G.September 22, 2013There is a bookstore downstairs where you can find an amazing Sale of Art Books - 5 Euros Each. Stock is limited -I bought 2 - so hurry up ;)
OlinMay 16, 2015Loved Van Gogh's sketches! Interesting to see the evolution of his artistic expression. Great shop for souvenirs!
SheepieJuly 9, 2015Buy timed tickets, even pre purchased tickets line is quite long. Don't even think about linking up for tickets at the door, unless you have lots of time to stand around!
Sina SayanMarch 20, 2016It has only one of the top 5 van Gogh paintings. Worth to see but you should not have great expectations.
Henrique XavierJanuary 1, 2015Here you see the paintings by Vincent Van Gogh, organised chronologically, and also his letters, painting instruments, short biography, and other related things. About two hours to visit. 15€.
Helen ZhangJune 6, 2017Van Gogh had an interesting life story -- decided to become a painter at 27, dead by 37 -- and this museum does a wonderful job showing his life and art side by side.
SophiaAugust 11, 2015Don't come if you're trying to cram it into a packed day, it's easy to spend 3+ hours in here, it's so wonderful. I recommend checking out the bookstore at the top of the museum!
Nikolas TapiaApril 27, 2016Tour around the life and work of Van Gogh. The exhibition is neatly organized. I recommend you get the audioguide. Queue can be long.
Kris TinAugust 1, 2017definitely worth a visit. order tickets online in advance and avoid the queue at the ticket desk.
Renáta Monori-MezőMay 1, 2023Wonderful exhibition of Bincent's life and art. But many of the masters followers' art are displayed as well, so you better read the boards.
Miki IonSeptember 11, 2015The temporary exhibition "when I give I give myself" makes it even more interesting. Take the audio guide and expect to wander around for at least 2-3 hours.
Jack DavisMay 13, 2015Great museum with some true classics by Van Gogh. Open until 10pm on Friday and a must see if you're visiting the city!
Ezryn ZarofDecember 30, 2017Everything was great! There were a lot of paintings to see and we ended staying for 4 hours! 😅❤
- Augie JagauNovember 15, 2015Very intriguing to see many of Van Gogh paintings in one place - bring a lot of time do that you will not be rushed!
Check out friday's after 7 pm performance with live DJ, vidro performance and bar, while walking through the collection! Incredible!
Kapt’n KokoFebruary 1, 2024Put the camera down. Your pics will come out crap anyway. Take in the art. Be present. This is a rare treat. ❤️ Koko
Pablo BorbónFebruary 27, 2016A great place to visit in Amsterdam. Make sure you have at least 2 or 3 hours to appreciate it
- Amanda SmithJuly 10, 2015If you've never seen his work in person, you MUST go. The heavy layers of paint make the whole piece. Grab an audio guide, and go at your own pace.
NickSeptember 13, 2014The starry night painting is NOT here. It has been in the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York since 1941. You can buy Van Gogh's jelly ears at the gift shop.
Leonardo CoutoMay 12, 2015Just amazing. One advice: pick the audio guide. There is a lot of particular facts in the Vincents life that will worth listen.
Gopi KrishnaOctober 10, 2015It's a great place to view many of Van Gogh's early works and the progression of his style over years. Unfortunately it doesn't have his most famous paintings like The Starry Night.
Аліна ШубськаNovember 26, 2014Great touchable place with good organised exposition, modern audioguides and big space. There are also pictures of Manet and Gauguin there
TomfooleryMay 22, 2016One of the best art museums about a single artist I've ever been to.. Get the audio tour, really it adds so much
Sofia SchukinaJuly 29, 2012Smart traveller, it's better to buy tickets online on a web-sitebefore the visit - when you come you will stay in a shorter line. If you haven't prepaid tickets just come up earlier... at 9:30 ;)
Forever favourite! They renew exhibition very often with new information and making it everytime incredibly interesting.
Salwan FinjAugust 21, 2017What a great tribute to a great artist!!! Shouldn't take more than an hour or two to see in detail dependent on how much of a fan you are
Shawn CallahanMarch 8, 2015On the third floor, tucked away in a corner, is the book shop. Up the back is a table where you can sit down and read Vincent's prolific set of letters.
Kelly K.July 12, 2016Worth getting the audio guide to immerse yourself fully into the works of arts presented or you'll spend half the time wandering around clueless.
Sergey KuznetsovAugust 24, 2015A museum that tells a story of Van Gogh's life through his letters, very nicely organised. The Starry Night is lacking, of course, but there's more to Vincent than that.
Pavel PavlyukovichJanuary 5, 2018Very good audio guide. I recommend use it. Unfortunately, not all famous masterpieces shown
Sofia UzDecember 22, 2015Book tickets online! Good museum for Van Gogh lovers. Don't waste your time if you know nothing about him. There are nearly no prominent works and photography is forbidden
