We booked our tickets online approximately a week before our visit, which was smart because it was sold out the day that we visited otherwise. We recommend visiting first thing when the museum opens to avoid the crowds. This museum has lots of great art as well as tells the story of VanGogh's life. His famous Sunflowers painting is here as well as his last unfinished painting before his death. Plan for a couple of hours for this museum. I was expecting to not enjoy this museum thinking it would be too much of the same thing over and over, but I found it quite enjoyable and enjoyed the descriptions and narrative of his life along the way.
I was fascinated by the art collection at the Van Gogh Museum. If you'd like to visit it purchase your tickets at least 2 weeks in advance. They were sold out when I arrived in Amsterdam. I was able to get in only because they release some tickets at 5pm for the next day but they get sold very fast. I got lucky!
We had entry tickets for 9 am entry. We had purchased the audio guide with our ticket but you can buy at the counter if you didn't include in your entry ticket. The audio guide was good. There are obviously many VanGogh paintings, and a variety of paintings from his friends and people whose work influenced his. We also found the special exhibit on Matthew Wong very interesting (it's there thru Sept 1) as he was influenced by VanGogh but his work is different. He also tragically ended his life at a young age. Included with your ticket
Wonderful museum. Did not include self guided tour audio. We had to pay an additional amount. Van Gogh museum is beautiful and has many pieces of art.
We arrived around 11am. The queue was not long. Staff are nice. The audio is well designed. It also provides extra information. To put bags in the closets you just need to choose a pin and a simble. Better take a picture of your closet so you won’t forget the number.
Really enjoyed this, we booked a few weeks before coming to Amsterdam, it’s in a good area in the museum quarter with plenty going on around it. The exhibition itself was really good, great seeing the paintings and learning about Van Gogh, liked how it was laid out, the different floors were different eras of his life, and you can see the difference in his paintings. My only criticism is how busy it was, so you’re often stood around waiting for people to move so you can see the painting and read the writing next to it. So it didn’t flow aswell because of that. But it was very enjoyable and glad we did it.
Amazing day here. Allow 4-5 hours. Loved everything about it including the temporary exhibition, which we thought we'd quickly nip into at end, then spent at least another hour in it. I liked the self guided audio tour to help convey the story behind the art. Great to have a decent restaurant in it too.
We pre booked our tickets from the UK we were glad we did as they were sold out on day. We had early tickets so no queues, no interaction from staff and we just wandered round as unless had audio guide you were left to it. The art is amazing and his life sad and fascinating. The museum is clean and well presented. We enjoyed the cafe and sunflower biscuits and the shop was lovely too, can't fault it a must when in Amsterdam.
We were absolutely blown away by the Van Gogh Museum during our visit to Amsterdam. The museum presents a great showcase of Van Gogh’s life, experiences and achievements through his paintings and artist friends. Unmissable when in Amsterdam.
What a wonderful museum... the art is inspiring and the layout is perfect with a lot of space between paintings so that your never feel crowded. It was incredible feeling to be surrounded by such beautiful art.
This is an excellent museum. Real insight into Van Gogh, so much artwork of his I had never seen, and it wasn't too crowded.
There is selected wait times of every 15 minutes or so. We booked an audio tour and all you have to do is grab this screen thingy and included headphones and select from 5 tours around the facility. The facility is big with washrooms scattered around. It is very fun and you get to know about Van Goghs paintings!
The museum is super!! We spent 3 hours in the museum.. the kids loved the treasure hunt and they even got free stickers and post cards. the tickets are sold out but I tried to check online at 6pm the day before, they open a lot of slots and got the tickets. Children 18 and below are free but needs tickets. Must visit in Amsterdam, the story and life of van Gogh is amazing.
This museum was extremely inspiring and moving. It really is a testament to the love that Vincent Van Gogh had for his brother and his family, despite his struggles with mental illness. Seeing classic Van Gogh in the museum created by his nephew, Vincent, was very special and memorable. We also enjoyed the Matthew Wong exhibit. Wong was inspired by Van Gogh and also had mental health struggles. His artwork includes pieces that refer to Van Gogh works.
No matter if you like painting or not. You can feel each painting by Vincent Van Gogh is full of his life energy on the painting. I do not understand each painting well. However, a self-portrait can inspire you with its use of colour and the combination of different painting skills. The staffs were friendly and helpful. However, please reserve a ticket for at least one week during summertime.
This was my third visit to the Van Gogh Museum, but the first time back in 20 years. It is still just as enjoyable as I remember - though FAR more crowded. We visited in late May and had purchased our tickets about 6 weeks in advance and had plenty of times/days to choose from. We did see several people who had not pre-purchased their tickets, get turned away as the museum was sold out for the day (we visited on a Sunday morning). I had read a few recommendations (maybe in the TA forums?) to start the visit on the top floor and work your way down to try to avoid the worst of the crowds. We arrived about an hour after opening and I'm not sure that starting at the top made any difference in crowd size. Since the museum is laid out in chronological order, you may want to stick to the traditional bottom to top path if it's your first time visiting or want to see the evolution of Van Gogh's work. While I thought I was prepared for the crowds, I was not prepared for the amount of jostling from people trying to take photos of the artwork or selfies with the artwork. It makes sense to me if you see a piece that you really like, that you want to make sure you remember (and remember the name), but many people just seemed to be taking photos of each piece as if they were checking off a list. Despite the crowds, the artwork is superb and you can get close enough to really examine the brush strokes. There was a special exhibition of paintings by Matthew Wong while we were visiting, and all of us enjoyed seeing his work very much (a few Van Gogh's were sprinkled throughout that part of the gallery as well). A word of note, in case you're not aware, Starry Night is not in this museum, but can be found in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. I would highly recommend making sure you visit this museum if you are in Amsterdam!
Lovely experience I loved the exhibitions, especially the Face to Face exhibition. Did not need the audio guide or personal guide to have a fantastic time. The information provided was comprehensive and eye-opening. Some attempts at inclusivity - like a touch-smell-feel station for the blind was highly appreciated. The gift shop was amazing - filled with many various things you actually want. The café had amazing fries but very high prices.
We had toured this museum during a visit to Amsterdam 21 years ago. Since then they have tripled the size of the museum and added paintings and stories from relatives and artists who related to Van Gough during his lifetime. It was really interesting to see some wonderful painting by artists that inspired him and he tried to emulate. And of course, the stars of the museum were the abundant number of Van Gough paintings. The sunflowers really are magical in person. My brother and I had a delicious lunch at the museum which was a very flavorful chicken stew with a pastry top. I appreciated the final comment on his life that he was an artist with a vision and didn’t just paint the vision of a crazy person.
Came here on Saturday 29th June for a pre booked visit - if you are planning to visit the Van Gogh you MUST pre book your tickets via the official website and you cannot turn up on the day and buy tickets which I did see a few people trying to do so. Arrived around 20 minutes before we were supposed to be allowed in but the friendly gentleman at the entrance said we were fine to go in. Paid €3.75 for an audio experience which in my opinion was well worth it, it enhanced the experience for me personally and allowed me to learn more about the artist. It was busy but it was a Saturday afternoon so it was to be expected. Not a problem but have to say the amount of young girls thinking they are models and pouting and pushing their arses out for selfies in front of the paintings is just downright tacky and it was tragic really. But that’s down to them and not something that the museum have any control over! 😂 Back to the museum, an absolutely outstanding collection and so many beautiful paintings. Stunning collection and I took over two hours looking at all of van goghs works. There are three souvenir shops and they are well stocked and cater to all languages I was really impressed and came away armed with loads of goodies! If you are in Amsterdam you must visit this museum it is well worth the price and it has left me with so many happy memories thank you to all the friendly and helpful staff you are brilliant and credit to you all for what you do.
Van Gogh Museum - 27/06/2024 This place is incredible. A must visit for anyone travelling to Amsterdam. Best to get tickets before hand online before you go. I went during the Exhibition Matthew Wong, two very talented artists who left us way too soon.
This museum does a wonderful job of telling the Van Gogh story. The signs are all in English and Dutch, so helpful. Part of our group of 5 did the audio highlights tour, other half did nothing, just read. I did not do the audio tour and felt like I got enough of it. My daughter, 25, did the tour and said she was glad she did.
The Shamaalina was interested in Van Gogh and we were in Amsterdam so what the heck. We retained a private guide from the tour company Vincent Lovers and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The museum itself is laid out in chronological order and emphasizes Van Gogh's contemporaries who influenced his evolving style. As this was not immediately apparent until our guide explained it, there may be some initial confusion when following the museum. Our guide was focused on Van Gogh's and how his style evolved as he was influenced by others. A caution to those with teens, Van Gogh frequented brothels and consorted with prostitutes and this greatly affected his work. In typical Dutch fashion this is not sugar-coated with euphemisms like girlfriends or partners. In a fit of despair he eventually took his own life outside in a field.
A must-experience museum. What a moving tribute to the life of an artist who left the world way too young. His sister-in-law gave the world a gift when she preserved Van Gogh's work in Amsterdam.
Very nice I love Vincent he is absolutely the best painter that ever existed is style is very unique The museum is very big and well kept I would recommend
My experience was made possible by the concierge at the Hotel Okura, as all tickets were supposedly "sold out". The facility is clean (like all of Amsterdam), and the exhibits are fantastic. Although Van Gogh remains one of my favorite artists, I did not know that many of his early works were dark in color, and even some of the seashore. Upon viewing all of the art, I realized how great an artist he really was. I have a print of one of the farm originals on display, and its vividness became even more impressive. This was truly one of the highlights of my time in Amsterdam, and I have had my enthusiasm rekindled in Van Gogh's works.
We spent 4 hours inside with my brother. It is a fantastic experience for art lovers. Each drawing has an amazing story behind it. You can sit in the middle of galeries and watch and look at the details of the drawings. Ambiance was fantastic. We visited on 2008 and each time when I go to Amsterdam I would like to go there. The surrounding also so nice. If the weather is good you can lay down to the grass and have some sunbathe. Enjoy 😉
A must see for any impressionism lover. Exciting to see masterpieces in person, and the audio tour allows the viewer to hear the background of many of the pieces. The special exhibition is worth taking time viewing. What I truly appreciated was the significant work by artists that Van Gogh influenced. By looking at their pieces, one can also see their impact upon Van Gogh.
At the exhibition the works were grouped according to various aspects. I didn't think that I will find so many pictures of Van Gogh there. It was wonderful to see the paintings in their original form. You could learn a lot about the life of Van Gogh too.
Visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam was an enriching and deeply inspiring experience for my family and me. As avid admirers of Vincent van Gogh’s artistry, we were eager to immerse ourselves in the world of this visionary painter. Here’s a detailed review of our visit: Pre-Visit Expectations Before our visit, we anticipated encountering Van Gogh’s iconic paintings, including "Starry Night," "Sunflowers," and "The Bedroom." We expected to delve into his tumultuous life journey and artistic evolution through the museum’s comprehensive collection. Arrival and Entrance Arriving at the Van Gogh Museum, we were struck by its modern architecture and welcoming atmosphere. The ticketing process was efficient, and the staff provided us with insightful tips for navigating the museum’s galleries. The layout was well-designed, guiding us through Van Gogh’s life and works chronologically. Art and Exhibits Our journey through the museum began with Van Gogh’s early works and moved chronologically through his artistic career. Each gallery showcased a diverse array of paintings, sketches, and personal correspondence, offering a profound insight into Van Gogh’s creative genius and emotional depth. Highlights and Impressions Masterpieces Up Close: Viewing Van Gogh’s masterpieces in person was a transformative experience. "Starry Night" mesmerized us with its swirling colors and profound symbolism, while "Sunflowers" radiated with vibrant hues. Personal Insights: The museum’s presentation of Van Gogh’s personal letters and sketches provided intimate glimpses into his thoughts, struggles, and artistic aspirations. These insights humanized the artist and deepened our appreciation for his works. Interactive Elements: The museum incorporated interactive displays and multimedia exhibits that engaged visitors of all ages. Virtual tours and educational activities for children made the visit educational and interactive. Family-Friendly Amenities The Van Gogh Museum catered well to families. Facilities such as family-friendly audio guides, interactive workshops, and designated areas for kids allowed our children to explore Van Gogh’s art in a fun and accessible way. The museum’s gift shop offered a variety of souvenirs and books suitable for all ages. Visitor Experience Crowd Management: Despite its popularity, the museum managed crowds effectively, allowing us ample space and time to appreciate each artwork. The flow through the galleries was smooth and unhurried. Educational Value: The museum’s informative signage and audio guides provided comprehensive explanations of Van Gogh’s artworks, techniques, and the historical context in which he worked. This enhanced our understanding and enriched our experience. Conclusion Our visit to the Van Gogh Museum was an unforgettable journey into the mind and art of one of history’s most influential painters. It offered a blend of artistic brilliance, personal narrative, and cultural significance that resonated deeply with our family. The museum’s dedication to preserving Van Gogh’s legacy in a captivating and accessible manner made it a highlight of our time in Amsterdam. Whether you’re a lifelong admirer of Van Gogh’s art or discovering his work for the first time, the Van Gogh Museum promises an immersive and enlightening experience for visitors of all ages. It’s a testament to creativity, resilience, and the enduring power of artistic expression.
One of the best museums I've been to - by far the best collection of the artist's work and so many of his most famous paintings. The building is large and airy however because of what is shown here it is a very busy place. The museum does its best to control the crowds but do not expect a quiet visit. The only downsides are on the practice side. The lockers for storing bags are a good idea, however the execution seems a bit more complicated than it needs to be. On a touch screen you need to think of a 6-digit code, then select an icon picture from choice of many, then get given a locker number to store you bag in. You have to remember to make a note/take a photo of each of these details in order to retrieve your bag. The system in the Stedelijk was much easier. Also, it's impossible to get near the most famous paintings as each one is surrounded by people taking photos at every possible angle rather than taking in the art first hand. Not a fault of the museum - I guess this is the same for all museums that contain top level art. The irony being, they won't remember seeing the art despite taking numerous photos of each one.
Well worth the visit. No need to be early for your time slot. They will not let you in until the clock outside shows your time. So many people waited in line only to be turned away to get back in line a short time later. Make reservations weeks in advance of your visit.
The works of Van Gogh are incredible to see in person. This exhibit was stunning and I loved how much you could learn about his life while also enjoying the art. Very sad that is his most popular work, A Starry Night, is not featured at this exhibit. Still worth going, be sure to buy tickets in advance! It will book up quickly.
This is my favorite art museum as it is dedicated to my favorite artist. They did a fantastic job at progressing through Vincent's life, transitions, & struggles. Paintings of things he enjoyed and artists he admired was a surprising addition. To see so many paintings of such a great artist was a bucket list experience, even with the large crowds. The audio tour is a must as it expands on so many aspects of many of the paintings. It's really well done. Be sure and buy tickets in advance as they are usually sold out daily.
BOOK AHEAD! They have limited tickets available each day and it’s so appreciative when you get in to view the art! One has the space to really view the art and not fight the crowds! Beautifully set up, and of course the art is stunning! Lovely to have a glass of wine at the end of the exhibit!
The Van Gogh Museum is not just a place for exhibiting the paintings of the famous artist. It presents a full examination of his life and the development of his work. Not all his paintings are masterpieces. We learn how Van Gogh arrived at a certain point in his artistic development and eventually was a great influence to future generations of artists. Worth the experience which you won’t get in most art museums.
Although Starry Night is not here (it’s at the MOMA in NYC), seeing Sunflowers in person along with many other of Van Goghs famous works was a real treat. The museum was founded by Van Goghs nephew and tells the story of his life through much of his art. Worth the visit. Took us about Two hours.
Got a 9am entrance time and so glad. The crowds were very low and being the first to enter it seemed we had the place to ourselves for about 30 minutes. We could spend a good deal of time at each piece and exhibit and didn't feel rushed due to a crowd. When we left at about 10:15 it was way busier and harder to move around. Highly recommend the early entry. The museum is beautiful and well thought out. I loved this experience.
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam. This is the largest collection of his paintings so the museum was able to tell a complete story of his life and career through his art. We were able to observe the paintings in amazing detail and very close, which allowed you to fully absorb the complexity of his techniques. We did the audio tour and put it on self guided mode, which allows you to explore at your leisure as you walk through the collection. The audio clips were short yet impactful and enhanced the experience. Although it was busy, I was pleased to see they limited the number of guests. This allowed you to get up close and view all details of his paintings. You didn’t feel rushed or pressured to leave an area if you wanted to observe more. I’d definitely return to the museum regularly if I lived there.
My first ever visit to Amsterdam and my partner said this place was a must see. We arrived and decided to book straight away as we heard it gets very booked up. Thank goodness we did this as the only slot left was first thing in the morning on the day we were leaving! We arrived before the museum opened and queued to be let in. The audio tour is excellent and I recommend getting it. I thought it was well laid out. Top tip go for the earliest session if you can as it didn’t feel too over crowded and you could see everything easily without too many people, by the time we left it was heaving!
We went with a guide and a group of about 15 people. She was extremely well informed, thoughtful and tuned into our group. Van Gogh is a highly significant new style artist who evolved his own style.
Been here many, many times and always a treat. However, when I was there 2x this last trip the was PACKED even with ticket limits. It is simply not large enough and too crowded to enjoy the brilliant art and life of Van Gogh. If not for his beautiful work and the fact that it is the largest display of his art in the world, I am not sure I would go back.
I love Van Gogh’s paintings. His use of color and his interpretations of the outdoors, flowers, people are wonderful. The museum was not crowded and we used the headsets. I did find the headsets to be a bit confusing to use at first but then realized I could pick and choose what paintings I wanted to learn more about. The narrations were helpful. I was amazed at all the different paintings Van Gogh did over his lifespan. Such a tragedy to loose him so young, only in his 50’s.
Beautiful works of Van Gogh! We loved to walk around, although the museum was too crowded. Be on time with booking your tickets!
Exceptional works of art. And a nice history of his life and works. Features other artists as well which is a bonus. Wish I had more time to spend there.
Beautiful museum… can get crowded at times… 3 gift shops in the building. Enjoyed learning about his life. We had 3 generation in our family trip… all enjoyed it!
It was an amazing experience at the museum. Would definitely recommend Tips 1. It takes about 2 hours to see the whole place 2. There are lockers available in the museum where you can store all your bags 3. The cafe at the museum has a good selection of food.
I am rating this based on what other people in the museum were saying. The reason for this is that I am not an Art Lover and do not know a lot about the Dutch Masters. I went here because I wanted to pick one museum in Amsterdam to visit on my trip just to experience it. There were so many to choose from. Keep in mind I also had the mindset that if I wanted to see art, I love in NYC and from where I work, I am within walking distance to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art (where Van Gough's Starry Night is), Guggenheim Museum, and dozens more. I entered the museum, and it was beautiful but since I am not into art it was a bunch of rooms with paintings on the walls with some additional commentary about Van Gough included in each area. I was kind of bored, but I wanted to force culture into me, and I started to read everything and listened to what others were talking about which ranged from what was in Van Gough's mind while he was painting something to the types of paints, paint brushes, and strokes he used to paint something. People were so into this and that is when I realized this just isn't me BUT this is for people that like Van Gough, art, and the Dutch Masters. When I saw several self-portraits, I could see they were different, but I could not understand why the multiple self-portraits as each one seemed to tell the exact same thing. It was then I raced through the museum to make sure I did not miss anything and then left. I was there under an hour (not including the time to check my bag or wait in line to enter).
Went here in the low peak season and managed to get tickets for the same day. Please expect to book way in advance. Many nice pieces to explore. Van really recommend it.
Given the name, I was expecting more of the major pieces by Van Gogh. There is no version of the Starry Night and just one Sunflower. But there are other iconic works, such as Almond Blossoms, and you do have good access to see the paintings up close. Seeing the texture and the brushwork first-hand is a treat. The first floor is largely given over to self-portraits. In places the museum is fairly crowded, but the flow is decent and you can get some up-close time. The museum is not sprawling, like the Louvre of Uffizi, so 90 minutes is ample time for a good visit. If you’re in a rush, even 30 minutes will work.
I have visited, seen art, liked art. Did not however feel art (glass panes) Heard art (audio guide [good]) Liked it a lot. Did not cut off ear.
