It's a really fascinating museum and definitely worth visiting. The collection is very large so you need to take enough time for this experience. However, some regulations are bizzar, i. e. we had to leave all our things in the locker, I only took some money with me, but when we were at the cafe it turned out that they don't accept cash so I had to walk and pick my handbag with all the cards only to be stopped at the escalator because of the bag. I found it an exaggeration and also very exhausting since we were hungry. You also need to wait in a queue to get a locker, you cannot just choose one that is free. You even need to wait in a queue if you just want to get your card out of your locker or leave the bag that you mistakenly took.

Big fan of Van Gogh, exhibition set out his biography with chronological display of his works in the context of his age and state of mental health. Also interesting to see the works of his contemporary artistic colleagues and how they influenced his own body of work.

The information relating to each exhibit was too small and hard to access, it was hidden by other visitors hands! There was no signposting to ensure visitors made the most of all exhibits. I didn't even see the aeroplane exhibit. All in all I was very disappointed with the visit.

The second floor featured Van Gogh's peasant artwork and more personal pieces, particularly the painting of his lover at a pub or café in France. I also think that the Japanese art he created was displayed on that floor. I enjoyed having two locations to stop and relax for coffee and snacks.

Van Gogh was a very vibrant personality, and his biography is well known to many. The museum left a great impression. On the first floor, there are numerous self-portraits — Van Gogh invented the selfie! On the other floors, you can witness his development as an artist. As you walk through the halls, you can observe how he arrives at the style that makes his paintings so beloved.

Van Gogh's works are incredible and being able to listen to them through the multimedia guide on the Portuguese line was unforgettable, because as well as seeing the wonderful works I was able to understand and learn about the history, details and particularities of each one. Unfortunately, some of the most important works, such as The Sunflowers and The Starry Night, were not in the exhibition. But it was still well worth the visit!

Claire W was a fabulous guide! She is passionate & very knowledgeable! Her delivery of the topics was stellar & she took care to distinguish between what we know of VanGogh & what was gossip. She was careful to ensure her students could see the pieces & took time to ask if her folks were keeping up with her & recognized the points she was making. Best tour guide I've had in Europe. Keep her happy, she is a treasure for your company.

More of Van Gogh, less or none of other artists. It is after all called the Van Gogh museum! Could not give two shits about Gauguin or whoever. Ill go to Musee Dorsay for that. It is also very sad, the commercial aspect selling Van Goghs work on anything you can think of. It'll be on cigarettes and condoms next.

This tour fulfilled my dream of seeing that many Van Gogh paintings in one place.The tour guide was wonderful! Lots of historical information about Vincent and his life and times. He also mentioned something I'd never noticed or heard mentioned before. Looking at the Iris painting, he noted the broken stem of flowers and said that even in his most beautiful paintings, Vincent often included something tragic. I'll be looking with a new perspective now. On the down side, my group, along with six others signed up for the tour, waited at the meeting place for 40 mintues until just before 10AM, we decided to go to the museum doors to ask about our guide. When we arrived, there was our guide with a green sign and another group of people. You guys really need to get together on your published meeting place instructions. It was very stressful; we could have missed out on this wonderful experience.

It is necessary to buy tickets online in advance. Probably due to the high number of visitors, there was always a queue outside the museum. Once inside, everything is very well organized. Nevertheless, I would again estimate an hour before the booked visiting time to queue. The presentation of the artworks and the explanations by the audio guide pay tribute to his work. It was also very nice to see oversized projections of van Gogh's works in the reception area and on the walls of the mezzanine floors. I have read that the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam claims to have the authority to interpret the artist's work. If this is true.

This tour fulfilled my dream of seeing that many Van Gogh paintings in one place.The tour guide was wonderful! Lots of historical information about Vincent and his life and times. He also mentioned something I'd never noticed or heard mentioned before. Looking at the Iris painting, he noted the broken stem of flowers and said that even in his most beautiful paintings, Vincent often included something tragic. I'll be looking with a new perspective now. On the down side, my group, along with six others signed up for the tour, waited at the meeting place for 40 mintues until just before 10AM, we decided to go to the museum doors to ask about our guide. When we arrived, there was our guide with a green sign and another group of people. You guys really need to get together on your published meeting place instructions. It was very stressful; we could have missed out on this wonderful experience.
