The museum was wonderful. Great experience overall for the family. We enjoyed the sessions and the information shared. What wasn’t great was the purchasing of the tickets and the fact that Viator did not provide us valid tickets for our kids. The museum is free for under 18 and we had two tickets purchased for them, they were not provided. I only received 2 adult tickets and the ticket checkers were adamant that we needed tickets for the kids. They said that this was a problem with Viator and that I should address it with Viator. We were likely to be let in to the museum since we weren’t provided valid vouchers.
This is a great experience. I loved the way they explain the paintings in relation to the place (physical and mental) and the people who surround the artist. I would return to Amsterdam just for that visit. Loved it. Make sure to buy the audio help. It complements well.
The Van Gogh Museum and the audio guide were highly recommended. The children (10-12) also liked it very much - We didn't have much time and therefore listened to/watched the audio highlights. What I didn't like so much is that we (because all official tickets were already sold out) booked via TripAdvisor - for 1 adult and 2 children + audio guides. This was, of course, almost three times more expensive, and in the end, I only received one ticket for one adult + 1 audio guide ticket. While children can enter for free and the audio guide is also free up to age 12, they still need a ticket, as the museum only allows a limited number of people inside. I received no response to my email regarding the missing tickets. The museum was not happy about it, but then exceptionally allowed my children to enter the museum as well. We were very grateful, and the nice lady at the counter also thankfully gave the kids an audio guide! So I strongly advise booking in good time via the museum's official website!
Wonderful museum, it is worth the trip, I recommend getting the audio guide.
I traveled here with my daughter who is very interested in the arts. I have little to no knowledge of art or the history of it. We did the audio self guided tour. I truly enjoyed the entire visit with the audio information. It was easy to follow. Well set up and organized. It appeared to be a modern building and clean. There was an elevator for those with mobility issues. This is a very busy location. Timed entry is in place and is required. The ability to move through at your own pace was very nice. Some points did not holed a lot interest and others more so. So it was nice to be able to take time and enjoy the paintings.
The art was amazing, and the audio guided tour was lovely. I learned so much. Highly recommend it here.
Fascinating and self reflection provoking
Nice museum and good audio guide. There could have been a little more emphasis on Van Gogh's mental disorders. And we got overlooked the beautiful exhibition where you could lie on the floor
Wonderful way to view a comprehensive collection of Van Gogh masterpieces in an airy and modern setting. It was quite busy so sometimes you just need to wait 30 seconds or so to get up close with his most famous paintings but it's well worth being a little patient. The audio guide was very useful though even the "full" version tends to only cover the highlights but you can go at your own pace.
Easy to use trip advisor. Loved museum
