Sema SumeliNovember 7, 2016If you come to Amsterdam, this museum visit is a must. It is unbelieveable.
Roniel TesslerNovember 4, 2015The reason this museum is one of the best in the world is because it's not only about the art. It's about the man behind the art.
Rachael KegginSeptember 7, 2023Book in advance online as this is often sold out. Be sure to also get the audio. It's definitely worth it and only €3.50.
Anien SalomonsDecember 17, 2013Worth to visit, even when you don't know much about paintings. A lot of modern and scientific tools to explain about Van Gogh and you can try it
Stefania ScognamiglioAugust 23, 2014Wonderful museum with lots of paintings, not only the famous ones, And interactive experiences.Buy tickets online to avoid the queue!
Cosmin TudoranSeptember 28, 2015Book your ticket via http://vangoghmuseum.nl/en/plan-your-visit/book-tickets and you will be happy ;) no waiting.
melocotoncitaMarch 25, 2014By purchasing your ticket online you can choose the hour you want to come. There is a special line for scheduled tickets and the line is virtually none.
Janet CheungAugust 23, 2014Cool to see how his style evolved and changed. Go at night on a Friday around 8pm to get in and see the three floors of stuff expect a 10-20 min wait.
FoodieSeptember 28, 2014An e-ticket bought on the museum's website👆 allows fast-lane entrance, but only at specified available time and date (usually next day). Better get this one or queue for 2 hrs with any other ticket🙈
ChrisNovember 28, 2017One of the best museum layout concepts I've ever seen. The museum was already going to be good, but the layout really seals it
Lauren HerdaSeptember 1, 2016The artwork is, of course, magnificent... but expect a ton of visitors, and difficulty having the space to truly appreciate the art.
Elmira BackSeptember 3, 2014Free wifi , u can't take photo 😜, u can see how the paints of Van Gogh improve In ages 😊 , like that
cvvhNovember 22, 2016It's open until 10:00PM on Friday but gift shop is open until 9:30PM. You cannot take any photos in the museum, which is fine. The Armin Van Buren guide is interesting, try it!
Dee MehtaJune 3, 2016Great museum, would recommend anyone visiting to buy your tickets in advance from the museum website as queues can be quite long
Hosang YuAugust 8, 2014Some 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.
Bryan PowerSeptember 17, 2017While the multimedia tour is highly rated, be brave and listen to your own soundtrack. Highly recommend sad, slow Radiohead for the top floor.
KennyDecember 4, 2019Try to get your tickets in advance. Just showing up and buying tickets there will almost always be a delay.
Jamie HoyleOctober 29, 2015Vast majority of the famous paintings were in the temporary exhibition section - was very lucky to see them (right time, right place!).
Ruben Garcia MohedanoJune 9, 2017Go early because it gets packed. Buy the tickets online to avoid queues
Irina MikheevaApril 17, 2016Wonderful museum, very useful interactive multimedia tours. Highly recommend! Book tickets online to avoid the queue
Paige HunterFebruary 18, 2019Buy your ticket online to save time and money. No photo rule is strictly enforced and be prepared to check your bags.
Sissy TskJanuary 9, 2015Just great!!! All those facts about the famous artist and his most famous paintings... Huge plus the recorded extracts of his letters. A must!!!!
Esther Van HoudtSeptember 22, 2017Revealing Van Gogh's mesmerizing color detailing!! Ticket line is fine: easy and quick. However wardrobe is a nightmare!! Please invest in a locker system!!
Alejandro MerazMarch 29, 2019One of the best museums in Amsterdam. You really get to know and understand Van Gogh.
Sidney SmeetsSeptember 12, 2014One one the best museums in Amsterdam, located on the museum square and open late on Fridays. A must see.
Teaveling Frog C.August 15, 2017A very nice and modern museum where you'll discover all about this painter. I strongly recommend the audio guide.

Amanda Andrada VianaSeptember 20, 2015The best museum I've been so far! The audio guide helps understanding Van Gogh's life. Great!
Heleno SchneiderOctober 14, 2014One of the must see attraction in Amsterdam. Make sure to use the audio guide for a better understanding. You can see all the museum at a leisurely pace because it's not that big, 3 hours will suffice
Mehrnaz GhAugust 2, 2016the musuem building architecture was great, and the paintings were amazing and it worth to visit and enjoy
Merve K*May 13, 2018There are 358338272 Self portrait with pipe and 928282829 self portrait with pipe and straw hat ahahahaaha😮🤪 please save your coins and go another museums.
Niels de J. (SU 3)September 16, 2023What a stunning museum. The amount of paintings by Van Gogh is insane. Did you see his “skull paintings”??
Audrey JensenOctober 15, 2016Be ready to dodge the people with the electronic info devices. It is also a video viewer. So they watch the video while blocking your view of the displays.
Masha GrekovaJanuary 7, 2016The museum is just amazing . Take the audioguide - a lot of interesting facts to know about Van Gogh .
Alexandra AlvesDecember 31, 2014You 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.
Chris KonsowitzFebruary 3, 2019Tour was awesome. The audio guide is worth it, but don’t just use it. There are other great pieces.- Paola ZamudioFebruary 8, 2016A little bit expensive but worth it! Do not forget to visit the Munch-Van Gogh area!
PotatoAugust 8, 2015Higher recommended to take a ticket in internet especially in summer season. Audio guide is very nice !
Wathieu Marie-PauleSeptember 10, 2018A thousand times yes! Just splendid. My favorite place and Museum in Amsterdam. Worth it.
