Sandy BlumbergSeptember 2, 2013Be sure to get the audio, it's worth the extra 5€. Very informative and you even get messages from Van Gogh during it where you can read some of his letters.
Upvoted Feb 7- Artyom FedosovJuly 29, 2016Mix of art gallery and biography is a superb solution. I was expecting to see gallery of Van Gogh's paintings but actually I also learned numerous facts of his life story. Definitely worth a visit.

Lucie KadochováFebruary 18, 2022Amazing museum even for those who do not love them. Each section is telekonference a story about certain period od Van Gogh’s life and it is really well put together. Get the audio guide!
Nika BehjatiMay 31, 2016Van Gogh only found his true calling as an artist at the age of 27! Without knowing whether he any real talent! Find out many new things...
Dennis BFebruary 10, 2020Don't come here expecting to see "Starry Night" (you won't). Come here for a deep dive into Van Gogh and a top-notch audio tour of the museum. Check out the special exhibits and gain a new perspective
Amit GaharwarNovember 4, 2018Take your time, if possible take a multimedia guide. Read about Van Gogh paintings before you go. Sunflowers, lovers, irises, almond blossoms, potato eaters are must see. Starry night is not here.
Tanya GDecember 15, 2017Every Friday evening the museum stays open until 10pm. Join one of the free guided tours of the permanent collection (7pm in English, 8pm in Dutch). You could also enjoy cocktails and music.
Tania Ulloa-MalaveJune 15, 2017Must see museum! The audio guide is worth the 5€ and they have a kid's treasure hunt with a small prize at the end...made my 7 year old incredibly happy and learned about Van Gogh in the process!
Idil AJuly 21, 2017Everything is great with the museum. The building is chronologically designed and makes great sense. You can learn Van Gogh's story and see many spectacular work of him. Must see when in Amsterdam!
Ayse D OzturkOctober 20, 2017You must visit this museum if you’re interested in art. It’s well organised and helped me understand the life and career of one of my favorite artists better. Buy online tickets to avoid long lines.
Vicki KolovouJune 12, 2016One of my absolute favourite museums. The guide app, the audios, the interactive screens, all help you immerse yourself into Van Gogh's paintings & life.
ChaseJuly 11, 2016Wonderful collection, not terribly large but big enough to keep you occupied for at least an hour. Go after three, purchase ticket online. Coffee shop beforehand and park afterwards recommended too
Sean Olson-RoyNovember 11, 2015They have the best audio guide for kids that completely pulls them in. The collection is comprehensive and well worth several visits to take it all in.
Liza ShpilkinaJanuary 23, 2018If you're interested in Van Gogh life and works then you have to visit this museum. Recommend to take the interactive audio guide. By the way, if you're less than 18 y.o., so the entrance is free!
Deimantė Daniel'sAugust 28, 2017Amazing place! Listening to Van Gogh's letters, stories of his paintings, walking though the places he used to go... amazing experience & a MUST in Amsterdam!
JB AOctober 15, 2014Book tickets online in advance and you can skip the queue. Allow yourself plenty of time to enjoy all the works, not just the most popular, but you can still get through in 2 hours or less.
Hop Hey LalaleyOctober 9, 2015Best museum I've ever visited! So impressed by the collection and the whole organization of the experience! It's 100% must visit, everything is made with such a big love to Van Gogh!
Silvi SilMarch 19, 2018We visited the museum on a Monday at 14:15 and it was really crowded. It might be worthy investigating when it’s less crowded. There’s another cloakroom in the first floor.

Augusto RizzoDecember 18, 2016An incredible museum where you can feel the presence of Van Gogh everywhere. Don't forget to get the audio guide! It's totally worth the price and your visit will be incomparably better.
Evan WeinmanFebruary 18, 2015Utterly amazing. It would be a mistake to visit Amsterdam and not see this Museum. Four floors of one of the most famous artists of all times beautiful work. Definitely worth going to.
RaniaApril 20, 2016The way this museum presents Van Gogh's lifetime work showcases impressive storytelling. Learned a lot during my visit. Make sure to give it at least 3 hours &book ahead to avoid waiting in line.
Beth GossipSeptember 4, 2020Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The audio guide is worth every penny. Lockers are free and you can take your time looking at the paintings. Must do in Amsterdam!
Kevin GrahlJanuary 14, 2020Book in advance to skip the line. You’ll get a time slot of 30 minutes in which you can enter. Audio guide is well worth it’s money; you’ll learn much more about Vincent and his paintings.
Summer AlghamdiSeptember 2, 2016This was my favorite part of my trip to Amsterdam. Get the audio guide and make sure that you have enough time to stop by the museum's store before it closes
Thetis TAugust 8, 2016Interesting museum of van Gogh's work.The storytelling gives you an understanding of the artist's psychosynthesis.The audio guide is worth buying.It can be very crowded so be prepared for long queues.
_July 25, 2015Buy tickets in advance to avoid the line. Great collection of Van Gogh's art and the history of his life. Starry night is not here - painting is located in MoMA in New York.
Emircan EryılmazJune 3, 2018Van Gog's artworks include landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art.
Versha SharmaDecember 15, 2013Absolutely beautiful museum. A lot of focus is on Van Gogh's process, how he painted over canvasses, on top of other paintings; you can literally view his brushstrokes under a microscope! loved it.
B. Aaron TalbotMarch 18, 2017the absolute best time to go is on friday evenings when it is less crowded w music playing, a wine bar downstairs and an interactive video installation playing...fantastic- Minh VuMarch 26, 2017Take audio guide. If you own a museumkaart or go with a group, you can enter in a special entrance (ask staffs for location). You can save tones of time by avoiding long queuing line.
Diana BergMay 31, 2017Huge exhibition with lots of info about Gogh and also exhibiting other artists that inspired, or were inspired by, him. The museum also has a letter collection which gives an insight into his life.
Carlos González LorenteOctober 17, 2014Amazing place. Very interesting painting workshop with profesional and kind artist. You can pick your picture to home. Really good distribution in general. Sadly I must leave before the concerts.
Serhii LutskoJune 17, 2018Well, my wife loved this place. Definitely take the audio guide since it will tell you all these crazy stories about Van Gogh and his paintings which are awesome btw
Samira Al-ghurabiAugust 25, 2013Great museum! I loved how everything was organized and related to each other. I'll definitely recommend this museum. You might want to first visit the lower floor for a short documentary on his life.
SophiaAugust 11, 2015Don't come if you're trying to cram it into a packed day, it's easy to spend 3+ hours in here, it's so wonderful. I recommend checking out the bookstore at the top of the museum!
Kelly K.July 12, 2016Worth getting the audio guide to immerse yourself fully into the works of arts presented or you'll spend half the time wandering around clueless.
JessicaJune 7, 2016It's a must if you're in Amsterdam, gives a whole new perspective about Vincent's work. The multimedia guide is definitely worth buying.
Duncan HowsleyApril 13, 2016Exceptional collection; really well laid out museum. Working through Van Gogh's art chronologically alongside the narrative of his life was incredibly helpful. Must visit.
Rashad HasanzadeMarch 21, 2014Great collection of Van Gogh's masterpieces. Very recommended to read comments near each one, to get the most of it. Taking photos is not permitted. There is free and fast Wifi connection.
Tonia ImperfectJanuary 30, 2017it's very spacious and modern and it includes many pieces from other artists Inspired by Van Gogh etc. good audio guide tour
Emily BasileAugust 28, 2016VERY crowded, try to hit early if you want an up close view of the art. Get the museumkaart if you plan on hitting all museums in this area and almost anything else in Amsterdam that requires a ticket
Lena G.September 22, 2013There is a bookstore downstairs where you can find an amazing Sale of Art Books - 5 Euros Each. Stock is limited -I bought 2 - so hurry up ;)
- Sarah DMay 30, 2017A little pricey to get in but well worth it if you're a fan of Van Gogh. This museum allows you to see the progression of his color palette and techniques over his life.
