    Tour was awesome. The audio guide is worth it, but don’t just use it. There are other great pieces.

    You may think it's a small museum for the building's size, but it's full of Van Gogh's paintings in several floors. Pure art! Buy online and escape the very slow line.

    Just get the audio guide and take your time. No crowds when we were there but told it gets busy. Managed to dispell some misconceptions as well.

    Fantastic museum, worth a look. Buy your tickets before hand (maybe a few weeks) to save time queuing.

    Friday nights are late opening with video projection and music. Set aside about two and a half hours to get around the collection.

    A really good resume of Van Gogh. The only downside if we can define there's one: you can't take pictures, even without flash!

    Buy a 'museumjaarkaart' at another museum for 50 euro's and pass the queues. And besides you will have access to almost all Dutch musea for FREE!

    Museum closes at 6pm. If you show up late in the day there are less people. Guy was a nutbag, but SO talented! #inspire #passion

    Buy your ticket at the museum shop in 200m from the museum (near the "I amsterdam" sign, to skip the queue).

    1. Line to get your ticket, EVEN IF YOU GOT THEM IN ADVANCE!!!! 2. Small line to enter the building. 3. Long line to drop off your backpack. 4. Same line to pick up your backpack. Needs efficiency.
