Is vangoghmuseum.nl Legit?

A real eyeopener. I knew of Van Goth of course but would not say I was a fan. All that has changed now. A fantastic tribute to a great artist, I'm now a fan boy. If you have looked at a single painting and thought, "that's nice", you must go. Packing examples of his work, side pieces which give a greater understanding of a particular work and information boards, you come away so much wiser, so in tune. The VR near the end is a total MUST. Not a think about it but a total MUST. I still tingle when I think about it. Written by someone who WAS not a big fan before.

The Pokemon Trading Company and Van Gogh Collaboration is problematic from the start. Merchandise is released bit by bit.. and Exclusive items are reserved for Museum staff. And kept away from the public. Then when they bought the stuff. It is placed on Marktplaats or ebay for quick bucks. That is like inside trading. Also stopping the promocard, because of a few people that are buying and trading the card. Isn't it just plain stupid. The card is coming from a Pokémon Trading Company. Exactly Trading Company... the name says it all. But the Museum is in shock.

Was supposed to be visiting today. Wasn’t allowed to keep suitcase at hotel nor were we allowed to bring it in to Van Gogh museum. Nearly 50 euros on tickets and not only are we not allowed in, also not allowed a refund. Disgusting customer service.

Visited this museum twice. And I would say this is one of the best attractions in Amsterdam. Both times we had excellent guides who are so in love with what they do! If you are into art, and especially impressionists, you just must visit this museum :)

Booked tickets in advance with family. Were still left in a snaking que around the museum for 1.2 hours. Fat people were allowed in a que free entrance. It was a chilly day in June. I was at the museum over 14 years before and I remember the art was laid out in a more co ordinated way than it is now. I was offended to see "van gogh" minions and other belittle cartoons projected onto a wall inside.- That's not Van Gogh! Inside there were several Africans standing around with badges and over size Jackets that were given to them by management. That was a "job". They were obviously rescued from the Med from a sinking traffic boat and obviously knew very little about Van Gogh. In fact they were standing in peoples way most of the time and it was very busy as usual. I was excited to show my child around the museum as they love art. The child thought the museum was absolutely crap. This time I agree..

Unfortunately due to the terrible organization of the collaboration with Pokemon Center and because of a few uncivilized incompetents, people like me who booked a trip to Amsterdam (and subsequent reservation at the Museum hosted by the event in question) SPECIFICALLY to receive the promotional card "Pikachu in the gray felt hat", spending a lot of money, find themselves badly screwed... and absolutely disappointed...Great incompetence this time. It is useless to mention at this point (14/10) the safety of the museum, because from now on we have to be afraid... The official announcement of the interruption seems to me to be just an attitude of those who want to get out clean at the expense of innocent people ..It is not possible for us to get refunds, so we will evaluate whether to go to the museum anyway or not...

I bought a bunch of tulips at a nearby market to bring home with me. I had booked tickets to the Van Gogh Museum (one of the most expensive museums I've ever visited) and was pulled out of the queue by security who told me I couldn't bring the flowers into the museum. I explained that I was going to put them in a locker inside. I was told I couldn't bring the flowers into the building. This is fine as a policy, but if you're going to do this make sure you publish it on your website. I asked to speak to a manager. A woman came out and shouted at me about how there could be insects in the flowers that could destroy the paintings. I explained that I understood this, but the website needs to state this explicitly. My friend asked the woman to provide a solution, to which she told us to find somewhere to store the flowers and that they would hold our time slot for us. I have never encountered such disgraceful service anywhere. The entire city is a tourist trap with unfriendly servers and this absolutely was the straw that broke the camels back in Amsterdam. I will not be returning and I advise others to steer clear. There are far better cities and museums with staff who know how to treat people. It's a travesty that Van Gogh's work has been left in the care of these people.

My husband and I drove from Denmark to visit Van Gogh museum the 27th of April. We went happy to the Office to buy 2 tickets. But we got chocked. The lady told, that We could get tickets the 6th of May.We have been in so many place, but never heard, that you cant visit a Museum. We saw people from Asia with the same problem. That is really not good enough!!!!!

great for all van gogh fans - great array of art that you will be familiar with

Very friendly staff and a wonderful display of Vincent Van Gogh's finest pieces. Would go again gladly.

Hello,It’s a nice museum, and a very nice way to spend the day for 2-3 hours! Amazing exhibitions!

We traveled from the States and spent so much time waiting in the line! Although, it was worth it.
