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)

Go in the morning when it’s just opened to avoid the crowd. You might want to enter 30 mins before your booked time slot for a coffee and access the locker for your belongings. I felt that I enjoyed the experience well because I started with the museum shop before taking my time to enjoy the art collections. Autumn is a good time to visit. Book ahead to avoid disappointment; I went there without booking initially and couldn’t get it. In the end I made a booking for the next day.

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.

Brilliant museum and the audio guide really adds to the paintings providing context and history. You can chose the highlights option and focus on key paintings or roam at your leisure, stopping at each piece of art and then using the dial for the numbered pieces. The audio guide also highlights key features of the artwork and is very interactive.

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.

It was a great museum to get acquainted with Van Gogh's work. Beautifully curated, I was able to see how thoughtfully they placed each piece if work to tell the ultimate story of Van Gogh. Showing the ticket provided via the app was effortless and hassle free. Glad to have done it.

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.
