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!

The fast track has proved very successful. As we already know and appreciate the artists and the museum, quick access was important to us. A guided tour or audioguide was not necessary. The presentation of the current exhibitions was ok, actually very good. The Impressionists are arranged in a somewhat "jumbled" way, there was no recognizable strategy.

Great exhibition! Staff were super helpful and the audio guide was well worth using. We had a great time. The only negative - it was slightly spoilt by too many people spending too long trying to get the perfect selfie with some of paintings and getting in the way of those who wanted to view the paintings and appreciate the talent of the artists.
