  • Wonderful Van Gogh Collection. Great to see so many pieces of his artwork in one location. I very much appreciated the audio tour, especially for my kids.

  • This is by far for me the most beautiful and interesting museum i have ever been in my life. Amazing design, top of the art paintings, polite personnel that lets you take pictures. Keep in mind that you have to book your visit in advance. Amazing experience! I definitely recommend this place while you visit Amsterdam.
  • Absolutely stunning collection, beautifully displayed and a very informative audio guide. You really feel like walking across Van Gogh's life. There was a queue even though we had booked out tickets online before hand but it was moving relatively quick. Buy your tickets in advance because it's almost always sold out!
  • Amazing experience. The tickets were a bit dear but overall it's worth the experience. The museum starts off with Van Gogh's initial days as an artist to his final days of struggle and chaos. You'll feel a bit connected to the artist himself throughout your museum tour (if you look closely) and the skill set that he showcased are all captured under one roof. Good stuff and make sure you take the media guide in your tour cos that can make such a huge difference.
  • Wonderful experience! Visits are well organized. Staff is very friendly. Displays are very informative and you can fully enjoy the atmosphere even skipping to buy extra audio guide. There is no rush to enter or leave an exhibition. Everyone will have enough time to get the most out of the experience. I had a short stay in Amsterdam and this museum was my main goal. I am very happy and this visit exceeded my expectations. I even purchased a book with all the paintings from the museum in my native language.
  • Incredible museum with so many original pieces. Seeing these in person really adds to the impact of the masterpieces. The museum is laid out chronologically to explain how his painting evolved and it does a really good job telling that story took about 2 hours to get through the museum. Highly recommend! Book online a couple days before as tickets are generally sold out 2 days in advance.
