What to expect

Van Gogh Museum

Step into a museum dedicated to the life and work of Vincent van Gogh, with galleries that trace his artistic journey. Move at your own pace as you explore the permanent collection, using your ticketed entry slot to avoid general on-the-day queues.

Features:

• Follow Van Gogh's development across different periods of his career, viewing his paintings, drawings, and personal artefacts arranged to highlight changes in style and technique.

• Use your self-guided Van Gogh Museum tour to set your own pace, spending more time in the sections or themes that interest you most.

• Benefit from timed entry to the Van Gogh Museum, which manages visitor flow inside the building during your selected time slot.

• Beyond the core Van Gogh collection, the museum also hosts rotating temporary exhibitions that expand on themes of art, history, and influence. During specific dates, you can access curated shows that connect Van Gogh's legacy with other artists and contemporary perspectives. Access all eligible exhibitions included with your ticket type, so you can explore both permanent and temporary displays in a single visit.

• Use your self-guided visit to move between the permanent Van Gogh galleries and temporary exhibition spaces in any order you prefer.

Extras

• Canal cruise: Pair your museum visit with a classic Amsterdam canal cruise. You can see the city from the water either before or after your time in the museum, depending on how you plan your day. Use an audio guide in up to 19 languages on the canal cruise, with commentary on the highlights along the route.

Wrapping up

Once you finish exploring the Van Gogh Museum, you are free to remain inside until closing time for your entry slot or step back out onto Museumplein to continue your day. If you have selected an upgrade with a canal cruise, plan your schedule so you can comfortably enjoy both components without rushing.
