Amsterdam Van Gogh Museum with Audio

Even without knowing a lot about art or specifically Van Gogh himself, this museum is truly a must. I would definitely recommend getting the audio guide there which was only €3.50 and we’ll worth it! Depending on how detailed you’ll want to be there it’ll take anywhere from 1 hour to 3 hours I’d say, I was there for about an hour and a half maybe more and there was still lots that I didn’t get to see so be prepared! Buying tickets beforehand sabes you a bunch of time so I’d definitely recommend that as well. I think the experience isn’t as good if you don’t get the audio guide in my opinion, the tickets I bought here didn’t include them but like I said getting them at the entrance was very easy and not too expensive, just a warning, they don’t take cash at the museum, it’s all by card (audio guide and any souvenirs form the museum shop)

The museum has a series of tours set up for how much time or particular interest a visitor may have. We chose the “Highlights” tour, and thoroughly enjoyed the selections chosen for this tour. Of course, we had the option to see any other paintings too, not just those on the Highlights audio tour. The Museum staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant was good, there was an attended cloak room, and clean restrooms.

Beautiful museum. Easy to get around to see the featured paintings. Great explanations about artists, paintings, etc. The paintings are displayed nicely, far enough apart to not feel to crowded and to allow for photos. Do not miss this museum if in Amsterdam. Both art lovers and non- art lovers will enjoy the ambience and beauty. Be sure to purchase your tickets on line as this venue sells out, especially in busy summer season.

We enjoyed it and the audio guide was really great. I wish we’d had more time, but I learned a lot of new info and plan to learn more on my own. There was an interactive segment where you could “flip through” his sketch books that was neat. And the info about fellow artists and their influence on each other was also good. I wish they sold a combo booklet and the audio tape so it could be referred to ad lib later.

So thankful! Was able to get tickets the same day! Flight delay caused us to miss the first date scheduled. Shared company info with a guy buying a hot dog who noted how disappointed his wife was because tickets were sold out. He immediately started checking it out. Purchase process was super easy.

The audio guide is very user friendly and enhances my understanding and enjoyment when I stare at my favourite artworks to a different level! I am glad I purchased my ticket before I left for my trip. I wish the Vincent Van Gough museum ticket is included into the one day traveller pass. Thanks.

I came to Amsterdam for Vince , I truly adore his work, some of his great work shown in thee Van Gogh museum and I love the presentation of his personal world described beautifully in the museum through his correspondence with Theo. Great experience, thank you! He lives forever in our hearts.

Don’t miss this if you’re in Amsterdam! Definitely worth the visit. Plan 2h for the permanent exhibition on order to understand everything and take advantage of the audioguide and an additional 45min for the temporary exhibition-we saw Klimt and loved it!

Amazing museum! I’d recommend getting the audio tour. I only did the highlights, which was about an hour and a half. Shared some very interesting insight into Van Gogh’s story and the information behind some of his most famous works. Highly recommended!

The museum was great! Staff was very friendly & welcoming. Just keep in mind to take your card with you because the souvenir shops don’t always take payments in cash; but that’s not a big problem. It was one of the best experiences in my life for sure.
