    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!

    An incredible museum experience in Amsterdam, we could have spent the day there. I was very disappointed to find Starry Night not on display though :-(

    Either use the museum pass or buy a ticket/voucher beforehand online or in your hotel. The lines otherwise are too long!

    Make sure to checkout their Friday night agenda. Many times they have free entrance with live music and other activities!

    No 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.

    They 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

    You 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

    1. Queue for ones with ticket is shorter. So buy in advance. 2. Almost no queue after 20:00 Friday.

    Your new queueing system is the worst. I hold a museumkaart and I've been queueing for over 30 minutes, what's then the benefit of having tickets or musumkaart in advance?
