The ground floor impressionistic paintings were wonderful, especially the huge ones with a historical context. The entrance to the museum went very well. There was a huge crowd in the Van Gogh gallery but there were several of my favourites there. The lunch at the restaurant was very good with courteous prompt service. Overall, our experience was very positive.

Love the museum! Beautiful display of beautiful art! The pieces displayed were just gorgeous! Security, management of people coming in and out all around was very good. Easy to buy tickets online and easy to follow signs at the museum. You could find all you need there, coffee, water, food, toilets and of course gifts or souvenirs. Would definitely recommend!

It was a great experience with fast track tickets. The museum is amazing and I always wanted to go . The weather wasn't great and I would be standing in line in the light rain for an hour to buy the tickets and get in. Fast track made it easy so we just walked in the moment we arrived at the museum. Loved the experience!

This former train station concourse is simply a wonderful venue for art of all kinds. Experiencing this diversity is a gift. We particularly liked the café.

The long queue at the ticket counter and the rain would certainly have prevented us from visiting. But our ticket gave us quick access. The building inside and out is simply beautiful. We were very impressed by the works of art, even our son/grandson.

A great experience in really impressive buildings. We really liked the exhibitions, as well as the organization, so that not too many visitors came in at the same time.
