Om
Hem för Vincent Van Goghs konst
Ett besök på Van Gogh-museet bör stå på allas lista när de besöker Amsterdam. Museet är hemvist för den största samlingen av verk av Vincent van Gogh i världen, inklusive över 200 av hans målningar, 500 teckningar och mer än 750 brev.
Den inflytelserika postimpressionistiska konstnären behöver knappast någon introduktion, eftersom hans omfattande verk är bland de mest kända i den moderna konstens historia. En resa till Van Gogh-museet är en viktig del av din upplevelse i Amsterdam.
Upptäck världens största Van Gogh-samling
Van Gogh-museet ligger på Museumstorget, det berömda torget där du också hittar Rijksmuseum, Royal Concertgebouw och Stedelijk Museum. Det är Nederländernas näst mest besökta museum och lockar mellan en och två miljoner besökare varje år.
Van Gogh-museet består av två byggnader som ritades av de hyllade arkitekterna Kisho Kurokawa och Gerrit Rietveld. Kurokawas flygel används för tillfälliga utställningar och Rietvelds byggnad visar de permanenta verken. Några av de mest kända verken som visas är Van Goghs solrosor (1889), mandelblommor (1890) och Potatisätarna (1885).
Van Goghs samtidiga
I museet finns också verk av konstnärer som är förknippade med Van Gogh, de som inspirerade honom, hans samtida konstnärer och de som han inspirerade. Det handlar bland annat om konstnärer som Auguste Rodin, Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec och Odilon Redon. Dessa konstverk gör det möjligt för museet att erbjuda mer sammanhang och dela med sig av nya berättelser om Van Gogh och den tid han levde i. Du får lära dig om målarens fängslande historia och hans inflytande på den moderna konstens utveckling.

Mycket sevärt
Ta en tur i museet, många fina målningar och hyr hörlurar så får du veta mycket om målningarna och Van Gogh. Gratis förvaring för väska och jacka.
Hälften van Gogh tavlor och hälften annat
Lite färre tavlor av van Gogh än vad jag trodde, men ändå en hel del. Museet hade också en hel del tavlor av andra franska impressionister. Lite dåligt att de inte hade en karta över museet. Man kan ha otur att få ett skåp som ligger långt upp och bara jättarna kan nå.
Fint men mycket
Bra museum men stort. Audioguiden lite påfrestande. Specialutställningen var intressant. Rekommenderas.
Värd att se
Det var en väldigt intressant utställning! Vi uppskattade att gå runt utställningen med hörlurar så man kundens i sin egna takt. Absolut värd att se.
Färgstark upplevelse
Underbart för att se van Gogh. Kom ihåg att ta en audioguider. Väl värt ett besök. Speciellt solrosen ska man inte missa.
Mycket folk men bra
Lite mycket folk, kan jag tycka, men utöver det är det ett riktigt bra museum med både fasta och tillfälliga utställningar.
Definitely put this on your list to visit
We only had time to visit one museum in Amsterdam, so I selected the Van Gogh Museum. Im so glad we did!!! It was a great experience. The layout of the museum takes you on a thoughtful journey through Van Gogh’s life, from his early sketches to his most iconic masterpieces. It was fascinating to see the evolution of his style and understand more about his personal struggles and inspirations. There are also several other sections, like his letters to his brother and other artists' works too. We took an audio guide and I do suggest this as it made displays more engaging. Also, the staff were helpful and welcoming. Whether you're a fan of Van Gogh or just appreciate art, this museum is a must-see when in Amsterdam.
Spacious space to experience his work
This museum is spacious and visitor numbers are restricted so good opportunity to look and ponder your favourite pieces . There are additional works by his associates linking you to the zeitgeist. Interesting work currently available includes John Madu who has incorporated Van Gough into his work. Cafe to take a break. Tips: You need to book in advance. Bags are searched and you will need to check in large bags. Length of visit? A couple of hours Have some fun at the photo opportunity at the end.
Museo Imperdible
El museo Van Gogh es imperdible para los amantes del arte de este magnifico pintor. El edificio es una obra arquitectónica preciosa. Este alberga una gran cantidad de obras del pintor como también mucha información acerca de su vida, cosas que solo conocerás si visitas el museo. También posee el museo una gran cantidad de cartas que intercambiaba con su hermano Theo. Nosotros compramos las entradas con GetYouGuide pues se podían cancelar hasta un dia antes. No se lo pierdan si visitan Amsterdam
Must see
This was more intersting than my kids thought it would be. The audio tour shares a lot of fun interesting facts. We learned a lot!
A jewel in the city
This museum was an unexpected highlight of our recent visit to Amsterdam. I had no idea how large it was - or the extent of the collection - until we visited. I learned a lot about Van Gough and his family that I had not previously known (and I have studied a lot about art and toured a lot of museums). The museum collection is well curated, and take the visitor through a timeline that connects Van Gough to those who influenced his work and those whose work he has influenced. The museum has the most extensive collection of his work in the world, though a few of his better known works are housed in other museums. I highly recommend.
Well worth doing
We really enjoyed the museum, despite not being art lovers (or really knowing much about art or Van Gogh). There’s a good audio guide which is free for children, and our two (age 10 & 8) were glued to it. There’s also an activity trail which they really enjoyed. We probably went through a lot faster with the kids than we would have without them, but the audio guide was a great way to engage them so that we could at least see something! The museum is well laid out, with a good amount of explanation and commentary on Van Gogh’s life and work. You can get up fairly close to the artwork (about a foot away) and they seemed to manage the flow well so that there wasn’t a huge crowd of people in front of us at the various paintings. Easy to get to by tram (I think we took route 12, but route 2 also seemed to pass by) - the Museumplein stop is directly outside the entrance.
Bellissimo
Biglietto un po' caro ma vale assolutamente la visita. La fila scorre bene e le sale sono ben organizzate con i maggiori capolavori di Van Gogh.
Magical
The Van Gogh Museum is a great place to visit. But make sure to book your ticket online in advance. If you’re a student in Europe, you can get a discounted ticket. However, this discount does not apply on weekends and public holidays. There’s a very impressive collection of Van Gogh’s works.
A top pick for Amsterdam
A must for anyone who enjoyed Van Gogh’ work. The self guided audio tour provided much wonderful information about his life and evolvement as an artist.we spent about 75-minutes. Important to book in advance during the summer months.
Beautiful museum of art
You will be dazzled by his work while his story is really sad. The talent that he had was unmeasurable. I’m glad I had the privilege to see his words of art definitely recommend going when they first open here or a few of beautiful work.
Problemi con la prenotazione
Il museo è certamente uno dei più importanti di Amsterdam Punto negativo: non si può andare alla cassa e comprare direttamente il biglietto ed entrare nel museo come si fa per gli altri due musei lì vicini Bisogna invece prenotare sul loro sito con un tempo d’attesa di circa due giorni (almeno quando ci sono stato io) non è stata un’esperienza decisamente esaltante, ho provato quattro volte inserendo correttamente i dati della carta di credito ma regolarmente mi veniva risposto prenotazione impossibile, mi sono quindi dovuto recare a piedi al museo dove mi hanno fatto scoprire un tasto nascosto sul sito del museo, mediante il quale ho prenotato per due giorni dopo Poi mio personalissimo giudizio: i quadri sono veramente tanti, però non tutti sono egualmente belli, anche se ci sono dei capolavori assoluti, ho trovato più interessante il museo di Copenhagen sponsorizzato dalla tuborg che espone un numero ridotto di quadri di Van Gogh, ma tutti bellissimi
B st museum and excellent audioguide
Absolutely outstanding museum. And excellent audioguide. We actually went to a Friday night event at the museum w music and activities. The teens also loved the museum and the audioguide. 10/10!
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
Photos don’t do it justice
There is no other museum as well organized and providing in depth significant works of an artist. Pay specific attention to his significantly prominent brushstrokes progressing in depth and emotion, no other artist, depicting the emotional, cultural, and economical details of their subject as this incredible artist. He lived with and breathed in his subjects. This artist such a profound figure in the art world also provided us within his beautiful works of art the changes and development ever evolving through the centuries of art and artists at the time . Unfortunately, his mental instability cut short his life. Thank you to his sister-in-law and nephew for giving us the honor to see his miraculous art. Photos give it no justice so I post no photos. You can only feel it when you go there. Stand and look at the art don’t walk away.
Consigliatissimo
Ho fatto il percorso esteso con audioguida, che consiglio a tutti, perchè offre maggiori notizioni e quadri molto belli e interessanti da scoprirne la storia. Inoltre è disponibile in tutte le lingue. Museo molto bello, ma che alla fine lascia un po di angoscia pwr la storia personale di Vincent. Andateci.
Es tan bueno como te han contado
Es todo lo que promete, para bien. Un museo dedicado completamente a Van Gogh por lo que el recorrido es una linea de tiempo en el que descubres su obra, sus influencias y el contexto en el que fueron realizadas las pinturas. Tiene algunos detalles muy interesantes en la museografía que lo hacen atractivo para aquellos que no están acostumbrados a visitar museos en sus viajes. Yo tuve suerte en encontrar boletos fácilmente pero en verano hay que reservarlos con mucha anticipación. Vale la pena y es obligado en tu visita a Amsterdam.
A MasterClass Tour of the Van Gogh Museum
The Van Gogh Museum is truly a marvel! Our group of five was brilliantly lead by our tour guide Anna N. who was not only passionate as she was knowledgeable but vividly articulate as she retold the prominent details of Vincent Van Gogh the artistic genius. Starting on the third floor, we explored some of the later “known” works which are best viewed from a distance that captures not only detail but the story and inspiration behind each piece. Anna, always the keen and insightful host challenged us to think beyond just mere curved brush strokes but the intentional dimensions added to each piece that gave life to Van Gogh himself. From treasured landscapes that depict life as Van Gogh saw it to his experimentation with self-portraits. If you are in Amsterdam for a day at least this tour is an absolute must see.
Loved it!
A true voyage to Van Gogh’s life! You can see the respect and dedication invested on this museum, and of course you have the privilege to observe some of his famous paintings. Second time I visit it and once again completely happy I did.
Didn't want to leave
I learned so much about Van Gogh's life and art. The collection is truly comprehensive, curated in a thoughtful, meaningful flow. I enjoyed seeing new works and appreciating their place in the artist's lifetime. Obviously, this museum gets very crowded, making it difficult at time to view the art. I recommend getting a ticket for as early in the day as possible. Don't miss any special exhibits that are included in your ticket. At the time of this visit, we saw the Anselm Kiefer collection and were impressed by its impact and the scale of the works. If you enjoy gift shops, there are several in the museum with a range of quality items. Very special place; I wish I could have stayed longer than the nearly 3 hours I did.
Great collection
Great Museum with magnificent collection of Van Gogh and other great paintings. Definitely something to do if you are in Amsterdam and you like art.
A beautiful dive into Van Gogh’s mind
I visited the Van Gogh Museum with a few friends, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam. Whether you're an art lover or just curious, the museum does a fantastic job of telling Van Gogh’s story—not just through his paintings, but also with personal letters and context about his life.
Spettacolo di rara emozione
Il museo Van Gogh non tradisce le emozioni consentendo un tour comodo e ben guidato (abbiamo usato audiovideo disponibili anche in Italiano alla modica cifra di 3,5€ per adulti e 2,0€ per ragazzi) lungo 12 sezioni che accompagnano lungo la vita ed il percorso artistico di questo straordinario pittore. Molto belle le sezioni dedicate ai suoi rapporti con il fratello Theo e con Gauguin. Fortissima l'emozione di vedere dal vivo capolavori sinora visti solo sui libri: dai girasoli alla stanza di Arles, dagli autoritratti (una intera sezione è dedicata a questa produzione) ai mangiatori di patate. Una full immersion che merita il viaggio e che costa davvero poco perché tutti i minorenni entrano gratis.
A must in Amsterdam
This was one of the best museums I’ve visited. Self guided audio is very good. Staff was extremely nice during visit. Make sure you book in advance and try to go earlier in day as it gets more crowded as day goes on.
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.
Book in advance
Excellent museum, loads of information even without guided or audio tour. Huge collection, a lot to see. You will need to book advance. We booked about 4 weeks before. It wasn't the busiest season in May, but still, the whole day was booked in advance.
An Inspiring and Romantic Stop for Art-Loving Couples
Visiting the Van Gogh Museum as a couple was one of the highlights of our Amsterdam trip. The atmosphere is intimate, reflective, and deeply moving—perfect for sharing a quiet, meaningful experience together. The museum is beautifully arranged, offering a thoughtful journey through Van Gogh’s life, from his earliest works to his final, emotionally charged paintings. Seeing masterpieces like The Bedroom, Sunflowers, and Almond Blossom up close was absolutely unforgettable. The personal letters and stories behind each piece sparked some great conversations between us—it felt like we weren’t just viewing art but getting to know the man behind it. The audio guide added even more depth and really enriched the visit. Tips for Couples: Book your tickets online in advance to secure your preferred time slot. Go early in the day or later in the afternoon for a quieter, more romantic vibe. Consider pairing your visit with a stroll through Museumplein or a cozy café nearby. Don’t rush—take your time and enjoy the calm. We left feeling inspired, moved, and more connected—not just to Van Gogh, but to each other. A must-visit for couples who appreciate art, history, or just a beautifully curated cultural experience.
Well worth the visit
This is a wonderful collection of the well known and rarely seen Van Gogh paintings. The exhibit is well laid out with English and Dutch descriptions. Be sure to get tickets well in advance, as they sell out quickly.
Da vedere
Tappa fissa per chi va ad Amsterdam.consigliato anche per chi ha dei bambini. Di positivo gli armadietti gratis per riporre gli zaini. Ovviamente la mostra molto bella anche per chi non è un gran intenditore alcune opere ovviamente famosissime. Nota negativa l’audioguida non in tutte le lingue. Consiglio
Ok but ticket price high
A pleasure to see masterpieces like this. However too many people are let in to allow quiet enjoyment. I wonder what the artist would have made of all these selfie addicted fools clambering to take a picture with the sunflowers. I hope he might have smiled at the irony of it all. His bio suggests a quiet and troubled man who may have been amused by modern times.
Great Experience
If you are at all a fan of art you should go to the museum. There is a very well done audio guided tour. If you are looking into stopping at the museum then you are clearly into art and it is a must stop.
Glad we pre-purchased tickets
I’m so glad I secured our tickets before our trip as entry is limited. When we arrived at the museum there was a line of people who were being turned away as they did not have pre-purchased tickets. We bought the audio tour and were able to see everything on the tour list in about an hour. We really enjoyed all the works in the museum and you were able to freely take photographs of the paintings.
Absolutely fantastic
Fantastic museum. Incredible to get to see so many Van Gogh pieces, some great pieces that I had not seen before, as well as getting to see the famous ones such as Sunflowers. We had 10:15 entry and would recommend try go as early as you can to enjoy as much as possible without crowds. However I think could be enjoyed regardless. Once in can spend as long as you like. Free place to store bags. !!book tickets in advance!! 100% recommend when in Amsterdam.
Cambierei l'illuminazione
Certamente un museo da visitare, con capolavori superlativi, ma io cambierei l'illuminazione, la presenza di tana luce su luce su muri chiari non rende giustizia a tutti i lavori, non ne mette in risalto al massimo le peculiarità, almeno a mio parere, ma comunque felice di averlo visitato. Visita organizzatissima, precisione nell'orario, audioguida interessante, ben gestita
Arte e natura
A dir poco emozionante. Situato in un parco meraviglioso già il museo è bello così visto da fuori, poi entri, e le opere di Van Gogh ti rapiscono. Meraviglioso
The quintessential Van Gogh experience!
It had been 10 years since our first visit to the Van Gogh Museum. And this time they allowed photography (no flash). We had reserved time-entry tickets in advance of our visit at 11am. It was a short line to enter into the atrium reception area. There are free lockers to stow any large bags, coats, etc. After getting settled, we made our way up to the galleries to enjoy some Van Gogh categorized as Self Portraits, Inspired by. Landscapes, Everyday Life, Artistic Flourishing, Artistic Exchange, Everything for Vincent, and more. We spent about 3 hours wandering about the galleries, taking in all of these Van Gogh works and learning more about him and his life and his family. It was so interesting to see a couple hundred works by Vincent!! And to learn more about how he worked, especially once he added colors so brilliant to his paintings!This museum is worth a visit, especially if you have the time to view and appreciate individual works! Be sure to take a break and visit the cafe for a beverage and some down time. And before we left, we took in the Anselm Kiefer exhibition to see how Kiefer has been influenced by Van Gogh. Interesting to see his large-scale works and their intersection with Vincent.
Superbe exposition
Van Gogh, son œuvre et sa vie De ses débuts de peintre où il mettait les paysans à l’honneur, sa recherche des couleurs jusqu’à sa mort c’est vraiment à visiter. Compter au moins 2H30 et penser à prendre un audio guide.
Great Audio Guide
I'm not a big art museum person but felt like visiting the Van Gogh museum while in Amsterdam was a must. We went with our two teenagers. It surpassed my expectations. The audio guide was very well done. Several tour options to choose from depending on your time and interest level (with something for young kids). We did the highlights tour and it was perfect. Touched on about 20 pieces, explaining how it related to his life and artistic style/evolution. We were there for about an hour which was just right for our level of interest and teenagers' attention span.
Great emotions for magnificent paintings
Our group of friends had selected the Van Gogh Museum as one of the must-see places in Amsterdam. For me, it was the second visit, probably more appreciated because we took the time to wander around the entire museum (audio guide around the neck but not constantly used). It takes half a day (we had chosen a morning, it's a good choice !) to see (or see again) many of the paintings of this great painter, including famous canvases. The tour is very well done and we follow the life story in parallel with the painter's journey. Great emotions for this unforgettable visit!
Sempre emozionante
Sempre emozionante ammirare le opere di questo grande e meraviglioso artista e scoprire i dettagli della sua intensa e breve vita.
Worth the trip
If you decide to come here, make sure you get your tickets well in advance. Also, we prepaid the audio tour, which is well worth it. There is a line for your time slot and then you go in and get your audio in English and we did the highlights Tours we were only there one full hour, and it was more than enough for us. We are not into museums. The highlights literally give you the highlights of the three floors of the museum. If you’re in Amsterdam, it’s a must. Our ticket included entrance into modern art across the alleyway, which we went into as well. Worth seeing.
A must visit in Amsterdam
A must visit for any art, history lovers or bucket list chasers! One of Holland’s most famous individuals, the museum hosts hundreds of paintings and drawings included several of his most famous. Allow some time to access the museum, it was a bit of faff getting in scanning the tickets, but once you’re in, highly recommending picking up one of the audio tours. They are extremely beneficial and less than 4 euros! Allow 1-2 hours for your visit, and take note it closes at 18:00. So make sure you book earlier if you don’t want to be rushed for time. There are three levels to visit, with stairs and lift access, so it’s very easy to get around and also wheelchair friendly. Easy to locate in Amsterdam as well and the ticket prices are affordable. Overall a great visit and a must if you’re visiting Amsterdam!
Excellent Museum
We forgot to get tickets in advance but found out from the security staff the museum releases a block of tickets online at 5 pm the day before, so we obtained the tickets that way. The museum tells the life story through van Gogh’s drawings and paintings. The displays are well laid out and although at times a bit crowded, the other guests were quiet and courteous. We spent 2.5 hours in the museum and additional artists displays. It was a moving visit.
Anselm Kiefer tentoonstelling
De Anselm Kiefer tijdelijke tentoonstelling bezocht in het Van Gogh Museum en het vervolg hierop in het Stedelijk Museum. Geweldige tentoonstelling, een aanrader, monumentale werken. Tickets verplicht online te kopen, toen wij er waren was alles uitverkocht.
Unieke combinatie van 2 harde werkers
Wat een sublieme presentatie van Anselm Kiefer en Vincent van Gogh naast en tegenover elkaar . Anselm Kiefer heeft deze tijd perfect,grotesk,indringend en met een trieste en tegelijkertijd vergulde vingerwijzing naar ons leven toe vormgegeven.
