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

    You can't pay with card in the cafe if the card was issued in Spain. And there's no ATM inside. This is really disturbing

    Excellent audio guides, but the museum's layout lacks any feeling of intimacy.

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

    Dictation mistakes in their English signs. I detected two so far. First sign on first floor of the exhibition and again on the second floor. It's a shame!!!

    An obvious choice. Get the museumkart if you're going to do more than 1 museum, it let's you skip the line.

    Bit crowded but totally worth it to see VG's work close up. Some of his best work was done in last year of his life, so sad.

    But once you leave your bag in cloak room, many people rushed into and hang over the night bar with live DJ music. So exposition hall is less terrible than other places.

    Moving to a new site in 2015. Until then, book in advance (or get there for 9am) to avoid queueing to get in. Audio guide is one of the worst I've ever paid for (€5 to hear about 20 paintings).

    I have a tip. Stop taking photos of every single picture you fucking morons. Are you going to look at them ALL every night before bed or something!!!

    A very large collection of Van Gogh's works, but even with a timed entry system there are far too many people inside at once. Go to Rijksmuseum or Rembrandt House museum instead.

    Van Gohg is really amazing!!! However, it's so annoying how easy to spoil the impression - the lights are horrible, some of paintings hard to see if u are not 2 meters tall
