Wundervoll 👌
Das Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam ist zweifellos eines der größten Highlights der Stadt und ein absolutes Muss für jeden Besucher. Die Atmosphäre im Museum ist angenehm und einladend, was das gesamte Erlebnis noch bereichert. Ein wichtiger Tipp ist, die Tickets im Voraus zu buchen. So umgeht man lange Warteschlangen und hat mehr Zeit, die beeindruckenden Werke zu genießen. Es lohnt sich ebenfalls, den Audio Guide hinzuzufügen. Dieser bietet verschiedene Optionen: Man kann sich für eine intensive Tour entscheiden, die tiefere Einblicke in van Goghs Leben und Werk gibt, oder eine kürzere Zusammenfassung der Highlights wählen. Die Erklärungen sind klar und verständlich und eignen sich hervorragend für Besucher jeden Alters, einschließlich Teenager und Kinder. Die Kunstwerke sind nicht nur beeindruckend, sondern die Art und Weise, wie sie präsentiert werden, macht die Inhalte lebendig und unterhaltsam. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist die Begrenzung der Besucherzahlen. Dies sorgt für eine ruhigere Atmosphäre und ermöglicht es jedem, die Kunstwerke in Ruhe zu betrachten und das Erlebnis wirklich zu genießen. Insgesamt ist das Van Gogh Museum ein inspirierender Ort, der zeigt, wie sehr Kunst verbinden kann. Ich kann einen Besuch nur wärmstens empfehlen!
Must Do Museum im Amsterdam
Wunderschönes Museum welches super Einblicke in die Gedanken und Gefühle von Van Gogh gibt. Sowohl bemerkenswerte Bilder als auch Briefe an seinen Bruder sind Teil der Ausstellung. Super leckerer Kaffee nimm Café beim Souvenirshop
Was kostet es in Europa Kunstwerke zu betrachten ? Ein kleiner Vergleich bzw 'Rant'
Mein zweiter Trip nach Amsterdam incl zweiten Besuch im durchaus sehenswerten Van Goch Museum hat mich dazu gebracht, mal über die Kosten des Reisens im Allgemeinen und zu Museen im Besondere nachzudenken. Spoiler: Hauptsächlich deshalb, weil ich mich über die meiner Meinung nach überzogenen Preise in Amsterdam ärgere. Setzen wir mal die Eintrittspreise einiger europäischer Kunstmuseen die ich besucht habe in Relation: 25€ für die Uffizien in Florenz (x-mal größer als Amsterdam...) 24€ für das Van Goch Museum Amsterdam 22€ für den Louvre in Paris (ca 20x größer als das VG-Museum Amterdam) 20€ für die Vaticanischen Museen in Rom, gigantisch... 16€ für das Musee D'Orsay in Paris (größer als VG....) 14€ für das Musee Marmottam in Paris (für die Monet-Liebhaber, kleiner als das VG) 12,70 für die Courtauld Gallery in London (ehr klein, aber tolle Bilder) 12,50€ für das Musee de l'Orangerie in Paris 12€ für das Musee des Impressionnismes Giverny 0€ für alle staatlichen Museen in London, wie z.B. dem Tate, dem Tate-Modern, der National Gallary, National Portrait Gallery und viele weitere Museen... Mein nicht-objektives Fazit: das Van Goch Museum in Amsterdam ist gemessen am Gebotenen das teuerste Museum, welches ich jemals in Europa besucht habe. Und zum Reisen gehört ja auch das ANreisen: 90€ für 2 Tage Parken in Amsterdam im Parkhaus ! Ich habe schon für knapp 100-120€ die Woche in Parkhäusern in Paris und London gestanden und letzte Woche für 72€ hatte ich 4 Tage lang in Leipzig einen Parkplatz. Fazit: Parken in Amsterdam bedeutet mit Abstand das meiste Geld, welches ich jemals im Leben für Parken bezahlt habe. Und dann kommt die 'Tourismusabgabe': 12,5% in Amsterdam unter 3% waren es in Paris unter 3% waren es in Paris unter 1% bei z.B. 200€ die Nacht in London, macht ca 1,14€ pro Person/Nacht Fazit: Amsterdam verlangt die höchsten Tourismusabgaben Europas. (Hab's auch noch mal gegoogelt...) Also für mich war's Das jetzt erstmal mit Urlaub in Amsterdam und den Niederlanden. Vergleichsweise nah von Deutschland aus bedeutet nicht 'vergleichsweise preiswert', im Gegenteil. Werde meine nächsten Urlaube vorzugsweise wieder in London und Paris verbringen, denn dort ist es sowohl preiswerter als das auch signifikant mehr geboten wird.
Sag mir wo die Blumen sind: Nevermore
Eine unglaublich gut gemachte, absolut sehenswerte Präsentation von formatsprengenden Werken des Anselm Kiefer, der früh von Van Gogh beeinflusst wurde, im Zusammenhang mit ausgewählten Bildern des Van Gogh. Die Ausstellung ist so getaktet, dass Besucher nur zu bestimmten Zeiten eingelassen werden, so ist genug Raum und Ruhe, die Bilder zu genießen. Das Thema wird im angrenzenden Staedelijk Museum fortgeführt. Gute Audioführung! Tickets früh online buchen ist eine Empfehlung.
Top-Empfehlung für den Amsterdam-Aufenthalt
Anzahl und Präsentation der Gemälde haben ebenso positiv überrascht wie die Architektur des Museums. Dass man nicht erwarten kann, sich das Museum mit ein paar wenigen Besuchern zu teilen dürfte naheliegend sein - und dass es keine Möglichkeit gäbe, kurzfristig an zurückgegebene Eintrittskarten zu kommen, ist eine Mär: Man muss nur freundlich mit den gestressten Museumsmitarbeitern reden, und es tun sich legale MIttel und Wege auf....
Museumserlebnis at it's best ...
das Museum kann mit dem "Munch" in Oslo mithalten ... drei Etagen sind dem Leben und Werk van Gogh's gewidmet. Klassische Ausstellung und Multimedia-Elemente sind enthalten (die Texte vielleicht ein bisschen old fashioned) Es gab eine Kinder-Abteilung, einen vielseitigen Museums-Shop und ein tolles Café zum ausruhen ... und ich hatte das Glück, dass aktuell eine Sonderschau zu den Impressionisten (Frankreich und der Einfluss auf die Niederländer) zu sehen war.
Modernes Museum mit tollem Shop
Als erstes: Hier muss man rechtzeitig die Tickets im Internet buchen - mit 22€ sind sie aber sicher nicht überteuert und bei uns hat das bestens funktioniert. Die teuren Angebote mit Führung und "ohne Wartezeit" kann man sich ersparen. Die Bilder und das Leben van Goghs sind im Museum gut beschrieben. Zweitens: Das Museum ist sehr populär und ist trotz Besucherrationierung gut gefüllt. Man muss sich also je nach Bild etwas "durchkämpfen". Und drittens: Der Shop hat uns ausnehmend gut gefallen - besser als derjenige nahbei ... Eine schöne Erfahrung also!
Van Gogh Museum
Das Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam ist sehr empfehlenswert. Man konnte sehr viele berühmte Gemälde von Van Gogh sehen und wer sich für Kunst interessiert ist hier zu 100% richtig.
Absolut empfehlenswert
Sehr interessantes, toll gestaltetes Museum. Wurde von der Schwägerin und Neffen von Vincent van Gogh aufgebaut und diesen familiären Flair spürt man.
Großartiges Museum!
Im Van-Gogh-Museum ist die größte Sammlung der Werke des namensgebenden Künstlers weltweit zu bestaunen. Die Sonnenblumen und viele weitere bekannte Meisterwerke sind zu sehen. Ein Muss in Amsterdam!
Van Gogh Museum. Tolles Museum, wenn Sie etwas über Kunst lernen möchten
Viele berühmte Bilder und Galerien. Der Platz ist riesig und schön. Ich wollte nur suchen "Selfie Wall" Aber ich kann es nicht finden.
Die Geschichte und seine Bilder
Die Tragische Geschichte und seine Bilder werden den Besuchern auf eine abwechslungsreiche Weise nahe gebracht. Man kann gut selbständig ohne oder mit Guide die Ausstellung geniessen.
Die Anzahl der Bilder hat mich überrascht
In meiner Jugend in Versailles, lange bevor diese wahnsinnigen Preise für die Bilder von Vincent van Gogh geboten wurden, hatte mich dieser Maler fasziniert. Im Pariser Louvre insbesondere „Die Kirche von Auvers“. Ich wusste, dass seine frühen Bilder meist in Brauntönen und dunkel waren. Im Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam hat mich die Anzahl der Bilder überrascht und dass er zum Schluss fast täglich ein Bild gemalt hat. Sehr sehenswerte Ausstellung! Mehr Besucher sind aber nicht sinnvoll.
A day well spent at the Van Gogh Museum!
My first visit to the Van Gogh Museum was an unforgettable experience. I arrived on a Saturday right when the museum opened at 9:00 AM and ended up staying until closing time at 6:00 PM. Even after spending the entire day there, I still felt like there was more to discover. As home to the largest collection of Van Gogh’s works in the world, the museum offers a remarkable journey through both his art and his life. I highly recommend getting the audio guide. I chose the English version, and I appreciated that it offered both shorter and more in-depth tours. The extended version takes about 90 minutes and provides fascinating stories behind the paintings and the artist himself. The permanent collection spans multiple floors and contains many of Van Gogh’s most famous works, including Sunflowers, Wheatfield with Crows, and his unfinished final painting, Tree Roots. One thing I particularly enjoyed was learning about the myths surrounding some of his paintings. For example, I had always heard that Wheatfield with Crows was his last painting, but the museum explains that he actually painted several more optimistic works afterward. The exhibition does much more than display paintings. It tells the story of Vincent van Gogh as a person - his struggles, his love of nature, and especially his close relationship with his brother Theo van Gogh, whose support was essential throughout Vincent’s life. Seeing the letters and learning about their bond added a deeply human dimension to the experience. The museum also showcases works by artists who inspired Van Gogh, such as Claude Monet, as well as artists who were later influenced by him. It provides valuable context for understanding his place in art history. One of my favorite moments was at the very beginning of the exhibition, where visitors encounter Van Gogh through his self-portraits. I had always wondered why he painted himself so often. The museum explains that he simply could not afford to hire models, so he used his own reflection as a subject. Small details like this made the artist feel much more relatable. The temporary exhibition was also excellent and included works such as Almond Blossoms. There was plenty to see beyond the permanent collection. Despite being very crowded, especially on a Saturday, the museum was well organized. Visitor flow was managed efficiently, and while there were lines at times, everything moved smoothly. The museum also provides lockers for luggage storage, clean restrooms near the café area, and a café serving good food. I also enjoyed the museum shop and creative spaces where visitors can engage with the artwork in different ways, including activities inspired by Van Gogh’s paintings. Perhaps the most inspiring part of the visit was learning about Van Gogh’s incredible dedication to his craft. In roughly the last 70 days of his life, he created around 75 paintings - an astonishing level of productivity! Walking through the galleries and seeing the beauty he found in ordinary landscapes, nature, and everyday life was genuinely moving. Even though some of his most famous works, such as The Starry Night (Museum of Modern Art, New York) and certain self-portraits held by other museums around the world, are not here, the collection is extraordinary and offers an unparalleled insight into Van Gogh’s artistic journey. Whether you are an art lover or simply curious about one of history’s most influential painters, the Van Gogh Museum is absolutely worth a visit. Plan to spend several hours here - you will need them.
Fascinating and interesting museum
This is one of the best and most interesting museums I have ever visited. It not only houses the largest collection of Van Gogh's paintings in the world, but also a fascinating and understandable history of his remarkable life. I got goose bumps just being that close to so many amazing paintings. It's absolutely necessary to book a spot in advance. And by all means pay for the audio guide -- it's well worth the small extra cost.
Van Gogh Wonderful -Audio Guide Terrible
The story of Van Gogh and his paintings was in chronological order. It was exciting to see some of the paintings up close especially the Sunflowers. His history of mental illness is also covered, but the emphasis is on his artwork and how it changed over time. My complaint is about the audio guides. Horrible. I could barely keep mine on. It was difficult to use and hard to use for each painting in the rooms.
Excellent, clean and modern museum
I’m not usually someone who goes to art galleries, but this was recommended to me. It did not disappoint. It is spotlessly clean in the museum. The staff are very friendly. Free lockers for your belongings (no backpacks allowed, which is standard in many museums). The exhibitions were very interesting. We declined the audio guide as we just wanted to just soak in the art and read the information. The permanent collection was my favourite, but it was also interesting to see other works from different artists in the current exhibition too. One thing that was a bit annoying (and sadly pretty common) was a significant number of people just wandering round filming non-stop. It impacted on our enjoyment a bit. It was also kind of sad to see people viewing the gallery through a camera lens (which you could easily do at home) rather than taking the opportunity to view those paintings directly with just their eyes and be in the moment with the artwork (none of this is the fault of the museum, however).
Recomendable..sin olvidarse de comprar en forma anticipada
Las instalaciones impecables y el audio guía fácil de manejar destacando lo relevante
Exploring the Life and Art of Vincent van Gogh
We really enjoyed our visit to the Van Gogh Museum. The museum offers a fascinating journey through the life and work of Vincent van Gogh, with a large collection of paintings, drawings, and personal stories that help visitors understand his artistic development and unique style. The exhibition is well organized, making it easy to follow Van Gogh’s career from his early works to his later masterpieces. I especially appreciated the opportunity to see so many of his paintings in one place and learn more about the influences behind his art. The museum is modern, well maintained, and provides a comfortable environment for visitors. That said, I was hoping to see a few more of his most iconic and impressive paintings. While the collection is extensive and interesting, We felt that the presence of additional world-famous masterpieces would have made the experience even more memorable. Nevertheless, the artworks on display are beautiful and offer valuable insight into one of history’s greatest artists. Overall, the Van Gogh Museum is a very nice place to visit in Amsterdam. It combines art, history, and culture in an engaging way and is well worth a visit for anyone interested in painting or looking to learn more about Van Gogh’s remarkable life and legacy. Try it.
Really nice
Really nice experience. We had a docent led tour of the “yellow” exhibit. Small size ensures you see it all without being overwhelmed.
🌻
Très beau musée avec de très belles œuvres et bien agencé permettant de facilement se déplacer. Néanmoins gros point négatif : trop de monde, on ne voit pas bien les œuvres, les gens poussent et c’est désagréable, dommage qu’il n’y ai pas une meilleure régulation du flux de personne
The life and art of Van Gogh
Fantastic museum with a huge collection of Dutch masterpieces. The museum is on 4 levels starting with the middle ages on the ground floor and working up to more modern art on the 3rd floor. You definitely see a change in styles through the centuries with the best works largely on the 1st and 2nd floors. They offer guided tours and self guided audio to help you absorb it all. It takes at least 2-3 hours to get through it all. Recommend buying tickets a day or two ahead as tickets are timed entry and they sell out quickly
What a change in 40 years
We visited the museum back in the late 80"s when it was a small structure with very limited display space. It has change completely from that to a very sophiscated and wildly popular venue. The old structure is still in place; however, it has been transformed into a much larger display area that is far more appropriate for the art on display. There are much bigger crowds today because of the size of the total museum. The new (very modern--as the stock photo shows) structure attached to the old building via a wonderful lobby area is a delight to make the entrance to the larger area of very special works of Van Gogh. The whole space of the new area is packed with visitors. But the good news is that it is easier to see the works up close and personal. This is one of the top stops in Amsterdam, and is well worth your time (minimum of 2 hours) if you are familiar with Van Gogh. Assuming that you are, you can skip the very small type plaques and "standard" stories about him and his relationship with his brother--as well as his frustrations with others. If not, get his back story(s) "on line" and save your time to appreciate the works.
Excellent Museum in Amsterdam
Excellent in design, painting pieces and organization. Book online in advance as it gets busy. We went early in the morning as 9 am and it was already crowded. Pay extra for the audio guide it is worthy. Kids are not charge. Bag storage is included. It takes a good 2 hours. We recommend it.
Una vera emozione
Che c’è di meglio ? Emozionarsi davanti questi quadri , con un percorso che ricopre la storia del pittore
Interesting Insight to Van Gogh
Pre booked 6 weeks in advance as friends advised us that it gets very busy. The museum offers an interesting insight to Van Gogh & his life. The audio was very good and easy to follow. The museum whilst busy was quite easily navigated with only some backing up mainly at famous painting. Well worth a visit and worth the entrance fee.
A Journey Worth Taking
Visiting the Van Gogh Museum was such a beautiful and moving experience. You truly feel a deep connection to him through his art; his pain, passion, and intensity come through in every brushstroke. Seeing iconic works like Sunflowers, Almond Blossom, and The Potato Eaters in person was powerful in a way photos of his art simply can't capture. The museum is thoughtfully curated, allowing you to follow his life chronologically and really understand the emotional journey behind the paintings. If you're looking for a meaningful, immersive experience, you’ll find that here! *I visited in January on a Tuesday around 1:30 PM, and it was not overly crowded. I was able to move through the galleries and spend time admiring all of his work without feeling rushed. If you are going during peak season, I would recommend getting there early.
An Amsterdam Must Visit
The Van Gogh Museum is a must visit when in Amsterdam. The museum features paintings and very interesting historical information. The museum houses the world's largest collection of Van Gogh paintings. A self guided walking headphone tour is highly recommended. The tour gives details of Van Gogh's paintings and life and delves deeply into background, family and hardships that made Van Gogh the painter that he became. A recommendation is to buy your ticket in advance an on line to insure entrance.
Book ahead but make sure you go.
This is a fantastic collection of art work by Van Gogh. We got there early to avoid crowds. You have to book in advance. The audio tour that accompanies is a must as it walks you through his life. A must visit!
Recommendation For Art Lovers 😍
I always wanted to visit and I was absolutely blown away. 😍 I’d recommend the museum to anyone who is interested in art and art history because it’s really interesting! The price is not too much for what you get to experience 👍
Nice
Tickets are hard to get at the door, need to reserve ahead of time
Essential to see, crowded, have ticket pre-bought
Tip: 1) Must buy timed entry tickets on line. Don’t walk up as it’s always sold out. Tickets usually sell out days in advance so plan early. If you’re travelling, and use an eSIM, note that buying requires SMS verification which could be a problem. 2) Get an audio guide. It’s reasonably priced and somewhat informative. Better than nothing but prefer the Rijks version that is free through their app 3) Prepare for crowds especially around celebrated paintings with not a lot of places to sit. There are three floors that mostly work via two staircases. (although there are elevators but not enough for all) The museum contains works that influenced Van Gogh and artists that were influenced by him. It also contains some close peers. What is interesting? There is a section that informs about pivotal family support by his brother (including letters) who financed him and his sister in law who promoted his unknown works after his death and made his work famous today.
Wow! A must see.
A definite place to put on your bucket list. This man was truly gifted and it portrays his troubled life with care and respect. We never realised what a prolific painter he was, producing wonderful paintings in such a short period. The museum contains many significant artist’s paintings which were his colleagues of day. A very enjoyable experience.
Loved it
A must see for all levels of art lovers. I learned so much and really enjoyed this museum
Wonderful museum
Had a wonderful time at the museum. I had the audio guide and I would really recommend it if you’re not joining a tour. Learned a bunch of new stuff about him and it was well organized. Would definitely recommend everyone to take a visit and be prepared to spend many hours wondering around
Amazing
An amazing experience at the Van Gogh Museum; The museum is beautifully organized; the collection is impressive;
Very nice museum
Very nice museum. Audio tour offers levels of interest- we picked highlights and this was perfect for our limited time. Clean, organized and great story of his life.
Fascinating view of the artist.
Great information about the artists life and some of his most famous paintings, but I would have liked to see even more of his paintings.
Trevligt och lagom stort/litet.
Bra museum att besöka med barn. Bra storlek och pedagogiskt upplagd utställning.
Incontournable
Éblouissant. Émouvant. Le point d'orgue de notre séjour.
A must see but more can be done
This smallish museum is a must see in Amsterdam. However it does seem odd that you still have to queue outside, even when you HAVE to pre book tickets and its nearly always sold out. Plus there is no protection to the elements, which given we are in northern europe seems an oversight.
Fantastic experience
At first, I was shocked to see the museum at such a modern building. Once inside, the experience did not disappoint at all! I took the audio tour device, and I'd definitely recommend you do that when you visit this museum. If you're with other people, it may be less practical if you want to exchange thoughts and perceptions, but as it was on my own, it was fantastic for me. The system is very well designed for you to follow the rooms in the right order. Be sure to select "full" to get audio commentary of all key pieces. If you’re short of time, select "highlights" - this is what I did at first, but then went back to the full version. The pieces are great, but the audio tour really brought it all to life for me. The tour also allowed me to walk around while listening to the commentary. The narration was fantastic, filled with sentiment. In total, the visit took me about an hour and a half including the temporary exhibition called "Yellow". I would definitely recommend visiting this museum if, like me, you admire the work of Van Gogh or are just a lover of art.
A deeply emotional experience -
We booked tickets for this museum before arriving in Amsterdam and we’re so glad we did. Upon arrival we were greeted by extremely friendly staff who guided us in and scanned our tickets. We were 30 minutes early but the staff said this wasn’t a problem. The museum is really well laid out and easy to follow the whole way round. The story this museum tells is beautiful, you come to understand Van Gough through a whole other dimension and i particularly loved the way the museum told the story of Theo and Vincents relationship, I left feeling rather choked. The shop is also well laid out with extremely helpful staff who you can clearly tell are delighted to be working for such a terrific institution. Throughly recommend!

Fantastic museum
We walked in thinking we’d probably be there for 1 hour. We spent 3 hours there. So much to see and to admire. VVG’s work is phenomenal. They had aspects too for a sound and also smell experience - so it wasn’t just all about visually appreciating his work. They also detailed his mental health struggles leading up to his death. Really loved our time spent here
Van Gogh
Great for all thing Van Gogh. Lots & lots of his work.
Great opportunity to see Van Gogh paintings
I enjoyed this experience. I am not a big art museum fan but I know Van Gogh's story and I wanted to go to this museum and it was great! I saw the La Famille Roulin exhibit initially and I enjoyed that. It wasn't just his paintings on display but paintings by Paul Gauguin also. Some art museums can be overwhelming in size and this one wasn't as I went and saw other paintings by Van Gogh after the La Famille Roulin exhibit. They also had an interactive area with an outline of one of the paintings for people to use color pencils to fill in.
Excellent
Fantastic museum with a wealth of Van Gogh material. Free entry with Museumcard avd worth going again for the newer temporary exhibitions. Plenty of opportunities to buy a souvenir or book too. Very friendly staff.
Sunflowers painting!
The Van Gogh Museum is an essential destination; it is advisable to secure online tickets in advance for your preferred visit date & time and to utilize the optional automated audio guide. Although the museum does not house an extensive collection of Vincent Van Gogh's works, it does feature one of his most renowned pieces, 'Sunflowers'.
The most comprehensive collection of Van Gogh paintings
Husband arranged for a tour. We loved the museum. Loved the tour guide. Her name is Anna. I would arrange a tour with her again in a heartbeat.
