✨#IamRomdelacrème✨October 14, 2014Had a short layover at the airport and took the opportunity to come to the museum. SO glad we did!
Pipa ArtFebruary 22, 2011Always fun, with the great Van Gogh standers, and always an extra exebithion, my fav museum in hometown Amsterdam
Rach ManshipJanuary 28, 2014An incredible museum experience in Amsterdam, we could have spent the day there. I was very disappointed to find Starry Night not on display though :-(
Go to the Gauguin exhibition and enjoy forgotten times. Even though it doesn't look groundbreaking, just go. Some important works are on display. Don't forget to touch the litho's!
Annabel CoronisAugust 19, 2015Huge array of paintings. Could b better arranged. Needs to b numbered by room but over all fabulous
Luke FitzgeraldAugust 22, 2014Go to the ticket office by the "iamsterdam" sign to get tickets and jump the (much longer) normal queue
Nial FergusonOctober 31, 2013Buy a timed ticket. We got here at 2.55pm with a 3pm ticket and walked straight in.
Amsterdam MagazineFebruary 4, 2011Make sure to checkout their Friday night agenda. Many times they have free entrance with live music and other activities!
AditiMay 25, 2014Either use the museum pass or buy a ticket/voucher beforehand online or in your hotel. The lines otherwise are too long!
Hosang YuAugust 9, 20141. Queue for ones with ticket is shorter. So buy in advance. 2. Almost no queue after 20:00 Friday.
Naila FateenOctober 15, 2013They don't tell you before you're actually inside that you have to check in your backpacks and umbrellas at a very long queue. Leave them at home to save time
Orsi K.October 19, 2013Try to go on weekdays! On weekend you can calculate on long queue, thousands of tourists.
Tim KingAugust 20, 2013Don't be lazy! Sign up for the opening 9am visit and enjoy a much shorter wait.
Karolina OleśJune 30, 2013Buy your ticket online to avoid queque, but with Iamsterdam card you can save money and time.
Michael MaherFebruary 15, 2014Buy your ticket at the kiosk in the park area for 15€ then hop to front of line.
Svetlana LashchukMay 2, 2013Van 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
Tudor IacobApril 20, 2012You should try the museum night on friday. Great mood right from the entrance
Vanessa QuekApril 21, 2016No photos (at your own risk level with sunflower has a difficult short man in glasses). Museum shop not so cool... A bit tacky for gifts.
Ángela LadinoJuly 18, 2012An excellent museum, if you like impressionism and art in general you have to go
Maja SavicMay 10, 2013Online ticket is MUST, queue is way to long and you don't want to spend your time in Amsterdam waiting
Friday nights: the museum is open until 22:00 every Friday night. Join in for a guided tour, enjoy the music and art or just meet friends and relax Read more
maria mouzakitiFebruary 20, 2011Definately go for the audio tour. Pay for your tickets online. There is usually a long qeue and you can skip it :)
Rafi RomeroOctober 19, 2015Given that I'm waiting in my 3rd of 4 lines, I decided to rate this. Leave your backpack in the Rijksmuseum to save yourself the trouble. Four friggin lines!! Wtf Van Gogh museum, w. t. f.
Pablo DePacasJune 4, 2011You can also check your bag. If you have a laptop with you, you can bring it in a clear plastic bag that they will give you
Ioannis PapapetrouNovember 10, 2014The most interesting is his life and not his paintings and the museum shows that...
M IOctober 24, 2014You had better get a ticket on the internet before you come so you don't have to queue in that line.
Martin KApril 25, 2014Even if you buy tickets in advance you still have to queue, so it won't save much time. Timed tickets might be better.
