We visited the Van Gogh Museum on a Sunday afternoon, the crowd was not bad and we were lucky enough to find a parking place across the street from the entrance, no waiting to get in. The Sunflower is the first thing we saw, how beautiful. The museum is a beautiful building which is easy to get around in and... more

As if seeing the works of this great artist were not awe-inspiring enough, the added bonus of enjoying John Everett Millais' retrospective exhibition in the same place for no extra charge was fantastic. We chose to visit on a very wet March Friday afternoon and were there until closing time (10pm), returning to view our favourite pieces over and over... more

I was a casual fan of art but not any kind of serious art enthusiasts. I knew I was fond of Monet and contemporaries. I had seen Van Gogh reproductions but they hadn't particularly spoken to me. Everyone told me I "must see" the Van Gogh museum so I went early one day. I spent that entire day in this... more

Not being an art lover, I wasn't sure how I'd like this museum. We went on a Friday night because they stay open until 10pm which allows you to maximize your sightseeing time. They have a "happy hour" type of set up on one of the main floors and lots of people come to enjoy the evening. The museum is... more

I don't know alot about art history. That being said, I loved the Van Gogh Museum. You can tell there has been alot of thought put into the layout of this fabulous art collection. We visited this museum Thursday, 3/20/08. We went in the afternoon, about 3pm, and though the line looked long, it moved pretty quickly. The museum was... more

very informative and chronologically organized... definitely worth a visit... VAN GOGH IS A TOTAL NUTTY BAG!!! Loved it!!!! more

I'm far from being an art expert, but I must say that this museum didn't impress me much. The collection is far from being vast, although relevant, and the building is not user-friendly at all. It is easy to understand the artist's life and I found the explanations very clear and pertinent. It was useful being able to pre-book the... more

This place is amazing! I am by no means an art buff but the museum is so well laid out that even someone like me can "get" what the paintings are all about. as other reviwers have said, the audio tour is a must, for about 7 euros you get what is effectively an art expert by your side all... more

I am not a huge Van Gogh fan, but I did enjoy the museum. A lot of his life was incorporated into the gallery space, so you were able to see what was happening with him when he painted. I liked his sketches the best and had never seen them before. There was quite a bit of paintings which were... more
