a place that must be visited in Amsterdam not only 100s of Van Gogh , you can also enjoy some Gaugin,Monet,Picarro,Angrand etc. Buy tickets from museum shop 100m away not to wait.

Be sure to get the audio, it's worth the extra 5€. Very informative and you even get messages from Van Gogh during it where you can read some of his letters.

Mix of art gallery and biography is a superb solution. I was expecting to see gallery of Van Gogh's paintings but actually I also learned numerous facts of his life story. Definitely worth a visit.

Van Gogh only found his true calling as an artist at the age of 27! Without knowing whether he any real talent! Find out many new things...

Amazing museum even for those who do not love them. Each section is telekonference a story about certain period od Van Gogh’s life and it is really well put together. Get the audio guide!

If you're interested in Van Gogh life and works then you have to visit this museum. Recommend to take the interactive audio guide. By the way, if you're less than 18 y.o., so the entrance is free!

Don't come here expecting to see "Starry Night" (you won't). Come here for a deep dive into Van Gogh and a top-notch audio tour of the museum. Check out the special exhibits and gain a new perspective

The most visited museum in the Netherlands. The museum contains the largest collection of Van Gogh's paintings and drawings in the world. Amazing and you will enjoy it.

Every Friday evening the museum stays open until 10pm. Join one of the free guided tours of the permanent collection (7pm in English, 8pm in Dutch). You could also enjoy cocktails and music.

Take your time, if possible take a multimedia guide. Read about Van Gogh paintings before you go. Sunflowers, lovers, irises, almond blossoms, potato eaters are must see. Starry night is not here.
Tania Ulloa-MalaveJune 15, 2017
Must see museum! The audio guide is worth the 5€ and they have a kid's treasure hunt with a small prize at the end...made my 7 year old incredibly happy and learned about Van Gogh in the process!
Idil AJuly 21, 2017
Everything is great with the museum. The building is chronologically designed and makes great sense. You can learn Van Gogh's story and see many spectacular work of him. Must see when in Amsterdam!
Diana BergMay 31, 2017
Huge exhibition with lots of info about Gogh and also exhibiting other artists that inspired, or were inspired by, him. The museum also has a letter collection which gives an insight into his life.

Vicki KolovouJune 12, 2016
One of my absolute favourite museums. The guide app, the audios, the interactive screens, all help you immerse yourself into Van Gogh's paintings & life.
Augusto RizzoDecember 18, 2016
An incredible museum where you can feel the presence of Van Gogh everywhere. Don't forget to get the audio guide! It's totally worth the price and your visit will be incomparably better.
RaniaApril 20, 2016
The way this museum presents Van Gogh's lifetime work showcases impressive storytelling. Learned a lot during my visit. Make sure to give it at least 3 hours &book ahead to avoid waiting in line.
Deimantė Daniel'sAugust 28, 2017
Amazing place! Listening to Van Gogh's letters, stories of his paintings, walking though the places he used to go... amazing experience & a MUST in Amsterdam!

Book tickets online in advance and you can skip the queue. Allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy all the works, not just the most popular, but you can still get through in 2 hours or less.
Beth GossipSeptember 4, 2020
Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The audio guide is worth every penny. Lockers are free and you can take your time looking at the paintings. Must do in Amsterdam!
Evan WeinmanFebruary 18, 2015
Utterly amazing. It would be a mistake to visit Amsterdam and not see this Museum. Four floors of one of the most famous artists of all times beautiful work. Definitely worth going to.
KataAugust 19, 2017
Van Gogh's life and paintings in one place (I mean those that aren't in other museums). Loved it, do not miss it when you are in Amsterdam. Buy tickets online.
Kevin GrahlJanuary 14, 2020
Book in advance to skip the line. You’ll get a time slot of 30 minutes in which you can enter. Audio guide is well worth it’s money; you’ll learn much more about Vincent and his paintings.
Ayse D OzturkOctober 20, 2017
You must visit this museum if you’re interested in art. It’s well organised and helped me understand the life and career of one of my favorite artists better. Buy online tickets to avoid long lines.

I’m an artist and a huge Van Gogh lover and if you’re into arts and appreciator of his work I highly recommend visiting this amazing museum !
Sean Olson-RoyNovember 11, 2015
They have the best audio guide for kids that completely pulls them in. The collection is comprehensive and well worth several visits to take it all in.
Thetis TAugust 8, 2016
Interesting museum of van Gogh's work.The storytelling gives you an understanding of the artist's psychosynthesis.The audio guide is worth buying.It can be very crowded so be prepared for long queues.
Summer AlghamdiSeptember 2, 2016
This was my favorite part of my trip to Amsterdam. Get the audio guide and make sure that you have enough time to stop by the museum's store before it closes
Alyssa G.February 10, 2017
Get the audio guide and book a time in advance; this is one of my favorite museums because it takes you through the evolution of Van Gogh's life as painter rather than individual, unrelated paintings
ChaseJuly 11, 2016
Wonderful collection, not terribly large but big enough to keep you occupied for at least an hour. Go after three, purchase ticket online. Coffee shop beforehand and park afterwards recommended too
Duncan HowsleyApril 13, 2016
Exceptional collection; really well laid out museum. Working through Van Gogh's art chronologically alongside the narrative of his life was incredibly helpful. Must visit.
Tonia ImperfectJanuary 30, 2017
it's very spacious and modern and it includes many pieces from other artists Inspired by Van Gogh etc. good audio guide tour
Magdalena MrázkováOctober 9, 2016
May you be a fan of Van Gogh or not this place is brilliant! It's not only about Van Gogh himself but it also gives you context of the era he lived and created in
Carlos González LorenteOctober 17, 2014
Amazing place. Very interesting painting workshop with profesional and kind artist. You can pick your picture to home. Really good distribution in general. Sadly I must leave before the concerts.

We visited the museum on a Monday at 14:15 and it was really crowded. It might be worthy investigating when it’s less crowded. There’s another cloakroom in the first floor. Don’t line downstairs!

VERY crowded, try to hit early if you want an up close view of the art. Get the museumkaart if you plan on hitting all museums in this area and almost anything else in Amsterdam that requires a ticket
Emircan EryılmazJune 3, 2018
Van Gog's artworks include landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art.
Samira Al-ghurabiAugust 25, 2013
Great museum! I loved how everything was organized and related to each other. I'll definitely recommend this museum. You might want to first visit the lower floor for a short documentary on his life.
Danielle C.October 29, 2014
Wonderful, well-organized collection of works by Van Gogh and information about his short career as an artist. The info really helped me understand him and his art better. I highly recommend it!

Buy tickets in advance to avoid the line. Great collection of Van Gogh's art and the history of his life. Starry night is not here - painting is located in MoMA in New York.

Had to queue for 2 hrs with a ticket purchased online at the Canal Tour company's site 😁 along with all other ticket holders just to realize that the ticket on iPad won't be accepted, need print out!
Versha SharmaDecember 15, 2013
Absolutely beautiful museum. A lot of focus is on Van Gogh's process, how he painted over canvasses, on top of other paintings; you can literally view his brushstrokes under a microscope! loved it.
Serhii LutskoJune 17, 2018
Well, my wife loved this place. Definitely take the audio guide since it will tell you all these crazy stories about Van Gogh and his paintings which are awesome btw
Ferdy van BerkelAugust 19, 2018
This 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.
