    Not too bad but its not the full range of Van Gogh. Worth checking it out if you love art and have the time.

    What a stunning museum. The amount of paintings by Van Gogh is insane. Did you see his “skull paintings”??

    Learned so much about the life of Van Gogh. Sunflowers is probably the most famous painting here.

    Try to go on weekdays! On weekend you can calculate on long queue, thousands of tourists.

    No discount for under 30 or students. Not so much masterpieces. I saw the best side of Van Gogh all over the world.

    Nice museum, but it will take 2 ours of your day, ít closes at 6:00PM, don't get there after 5:00PM.

    If you're too loud, you might get an earful from the Van Gogh museum guards.

    An incredible museum experience in Amsterdam, we could have spent the day there. I was very disappointed to find Starry Night not on display though :-(

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

    Famous painting like Sunflower, The Bedroom and The Potatoes Eaters are removed for the other exhibition. Not much artworks and expensive. Overated. Rijksmuseum are much better.

    Take time with some of the less famous paintings. Some of them are just as good or even better than the most well known, like this little pear tree for instance.

    Some stupid(f**ck them all) guys say it's the same to wait for long whether you buy the ticket or not. Just try and see what happens without buying ticket, as I am doing now. Go hell the stupid.
