The 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.

Book tickets online! Good museum for Van Gogh lovers. Don't waste your time if you know nothing about him. There are nearly no prominent works and photography is forbidden

Book 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.

Great museum, would recommend anyone visiting to buy your tickets in advance from the museum website as queues can be quite long
Stefania ScognamiglioAugust 23, 2014
Wonderful museum with lots of paintings, not only the famous ones, And interactive experiences.Buy tickets online to avoid the queue!

By 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.

Worth 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
Paige HunterFebruary 18, 2019
Buy your ticket online to save time and money. No photo rule is strictly enforced and be prepared to check your bags.

It'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!

While the multimedia tour is highly rated, be brave and listen to your own soundtrack. Highly recommend sad, slow Radiohead for the top floor.

One of the best museum layout concepts I've ever seen. The museum was already going to be good, but the layout really seals it
Varun RauApril 26, 2019
the audio guide is its own work of art

An 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🙈
KennyDecember 4, 2019
Try to get your tickets in advance. Just showing up and buying tickets there will almost always be a delay.
Lauren HerdaSeptember 1, 2016
The artwork is, of course, magnificent... but expect a ton of visitors, and difficulty having the space to truly appreciate the art.
Janet CheungAugust 23, 2014
Cool 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.
Elmira BackSeptember 3, 2014
Free wifi , u can't take photo 😜, u can see how the paints of Van Gogh improve In ages 😊 , like that
Jamie HoyleOctober 29, 2015
Vast majority of the famous paintings were in the temporary exhibition section - was very lucky to see them (right time, right place!).
Jay WerginMay 8, 2017
The entire museum. The cafe is fabulous as well as the gift shop.
Sissy TskJanuary 9, 2015

One one the best museums in Amsterdam, located on the museum square and open late on Fridays. A must see.

One of the best museums in Amsterdam. You really get to know and understand Van Gogh.
Esther Van HoudtSeptember 22, 2017
Revealing Van Gogh's mesmerizing color detailing!! Ticket line is fine: easy and quick. However wardrobe is a nightmare!! Please invest in a locker system!!

Visit on a Friday night, when closing time is extended to 10p.m., live piano music is played in the lobby, and champagne is served. Read more

Mehrnaz GhAugust 2, 2016
the musuem building architecture was great, and the paintings were amazing and it worth to visit and enjoy
Audrey JensenOctober 15, 2016
Be 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.
Andrew BC 翁 ÔNGJune 27, 2015
Amazed collection of Van Gogh & others' arts & paintings. Crowded by locals & tourists as well
Niels de J. (SU 3)September 16, 2023
What a stunning museum. The amount of paintings by Van Gogh is insane. Did you see his “skull paintings”??
Naomi BruwerDecember 24, 2014
Wonderful museum. Renovations nearly done. Looking great. And there are original Van Gogh's...need I say more?!

The best museum I've been so far! The audio guide helps understanding Van Gogh's life. Great!
Heleno SchneiderOctober 14, 2014
One 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
Masha GrekovaJanuary 7, 2016
The museum is just amazing . Take the audioguide - a lot of interesting facts to know about Van Gogh .

Tour was awesome. The audio guide is worth it, but don’t just use it. There are other great pieces.
PotatoAugust 8, 2015
Higher recommended to take a ticket in internet especially in summer season. Audio guide is very nice !
Hosang YuAugust 8, 2014
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.
Wathieu Marie-PauleSeptember 10, 2018
A thousand times yes! Just splendid. My favorite place and Museum in Amsterdam. Worth it.
