    The renovations are nice, although the non-museum guidebooks (which we relied on) make it difficult to go through easily. Go later in the evening to avoid the crowds, no advance tickets needed.

    A little bit expensive but worth it! Do not forget to visit the Munch-Van Gogh area!

    You may think it's a small museum for the building's size, but it's full of Van Gogh's paintings in several floors. Pure art! Buy online and escape the very slow line.

    Fantastic museum, worth a look. Buy your tickets before hand (maybe a few weeks) to save time queuing.

    Friday nights are late opening with video projection and music. Set aside about two and a half hours to get around the collection.

    The great piece of art. Nowhere else can one find so much about Van Gogh's life and work. Must be visited. That's for sure

    A really good resume of Van Gogh. The only downside if we can define there's one: you can't take pictures, even without flash!

    Buy a 'museumjaarkaart' at another museum for 50 euro's and pass the queues. And besides you will have access to almost all Dutch musea for FREE!

    1. Line to get your ticket, EVEN IF YOU GOT THEM IN ADVANCE!!!! 2. Small line to enter the building. 3. Long line to drop off your backpack. 4. Same line to pick up your backpack. Needs efficiency.
