thanks to rick steve's guidebook, i went on friday night when it was less crowded, and when there was an area set up for live entertainment and to have wine, beer, soda, and cheese. it was just neat to do that in a museum. could have been more chairs set up (there was room) and there could have been more... more

Until January 24th, 2010, not only will you have the opportunity of seeing the works of Van Gogh, but also those of the brilliant Belgian artist Alfred Stevens, who spent most of his working life in Paris. His attention to detail has to be seen to be believed. I consider myself privileged to have been in this wonderful museum. more

A wonderful collection of Van Gogh's works. It was very enjoyable and educational to see his progression from dark, dreary works of Holland to his progression into using different colors, brush strokes, and painting styles as he progressed as an artist and as he traveled and learned from other artists. It was an 8 hour flight from Chicago, and I... more

Did,... more

You can read 100 reviews about the VanGogh museum. It's great. Make sure you get the audio tour, it's totally worth it. Check on the times that it is open. They don't publicize it very much but it is usually open late one day a week. Perfect time to go because the tourists are elsewhere. more

The Van Gogh Museum, You must visit, walk there and enjoy an afternoon amongst art, you'll not see anywhere else. Lovely gallery superbly shown and affordable, no need to allow more than 4 hours smallish and good value whilst the Rijks is closed for refurb more

Quick and valuable suggestion - buy Van Gogh Museum tix in advance on line (via its website) and skip the inevitable line. I believe no charge for this service and you will thank me later. more
