    Nare ervaring daar ; lijkt wel een legerkazerne of vliegveld controle daar geworden ; bij de ingang in zijvleugel; ( je gaat met vleugels naar binnen en komt er ontmoedigd en met broken wings naar buiten, geen zin meer om verder wat dan ook te bezoeken ) ook zeer beledigend toegesproken door een suppoost , van de eerste zaal (leek wel een agressieve pitbull), (wat een verschil met het Rijks ,wat waardigheid uitstraalt .) Later trouwens wel een vriendelijke suppoost ontmoet , om de aanval enigszins goed te maken ; het publiek ook niet meer wat het geweest is ; kijk met weemoed terug naar het ouwe van Gogh museum, waar ik als beeldend kunstenaar nog geëxposeerd heb ; toen het er nog gemoedelijk aan toe ging ... elke verandering betekent niet altijd een verbetering ! Denk niet dan van Gogh zelf zo'n behandeling op prijs had gesteld ; ikzelf; ook beeldend kunstenaar dus; met ook een degree in art history ... they prey nu eenmaal op innocent women ....ga er voorlopig niet meer naar toe.

    De tentoonstelling Easy Virtue of Lichte Zeden bekeken. Het Van Gogh Museum heeft hier waanzinnig veel bruiklenen bij elkaar gekregen uit vele grote musea. Voor de liefhebbers van Edgar Degas en Henri de Toulouse Lautrec valt er veel te zien, ook een paar mooie Sluijters en van Dongen. Van Gogh zelf komt er zeer bekaaid af maar die kun je in de vaste opstelling voldoende zien. Voor mij was het hoogtepunt het portret van Gustave Coquiot door Picasso dat hij op 20 jarige leeftijd in Parijs had gemaakt. Het was er niet druk dus je hebt goed de mogelijkheid om de werken te bestuderen.

    Very nice museum with beautiful work by Vincent van Gogh, paired with his life story. Both interesting and engaging. The only drawback is the long queue to get in. I would definitely recommend going here if you’re visiting Amsterdam!

    Mooi museum, maar erg druk. Het museum bezit veel mooie schilderijen van de Nederlandse kunstschilder Vincent van Gogh, maar laat je ook kennis maken met zijn leven.

    Erg mooi museum met interessante schilderijen waar de heldere kleuren van afspatten. Dit museum heeft de mooiste schilderijen van van Gogh en is daarom zeker een must see!
