My daughter purchased two tickets for our anniversary last year and the E-ticket was printed in Dutch.
On arriving in Amsterdam we were told the tickets had expired as it was just over a year. Called the main office told the same even after explaining we can't read Dutch. Her problem was they couldn't read the expired barcode!!!! She suggested that we email the groups department as they should be able to help us.
Emailed them and after 2 days no reply, we call again and they would call us back. Again no response so we call again and we're told by the group women that she can't do anything for us rules are rules and we were over the year. When I asked to speak to a manager "that wasn't possible as all three managers don't deal with customers" !!!! When confronted with the question " is the €35 that we paid last year also invalid now" her reply was no but you can't get a refund!!!
Conclusion , on customer service this museum and their personel are a complete disgrace to tourists.
Any form of compromise or thinking outside the box unfortunately isn't in their mentality.
Shameful and definately a bad advert for Amsterdam and Holland

Extremely disappointing. We arrived 1st thing so missed most of the queues, it wasn't too busy. The signage is terrible, once everyone has entered they stand there in a clump, trying to work out which way to go. There is no signage at all, none.
The room numbering on the floor plan is nonsensical, you could reasonably expect room 2.20 to be next to 2.2, no, it goes 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, so 2.20 is between 2.19 and 2.21, so 2.11 is no where near 2.1 either, it is a real mess. No signs anywhere to help you.
And sadly the content of the exhibits is such a let down, if you are expecting a display of Rembrandts and Van Goghs don't get your hopes up, 3 minor Van Goghs and the Nightwatch (which is currently behind a huge glass enclosure being restored so you can't see it anyway). A lot of minor Dutch masters and an awful lot of random exhibits which really shouldn't be there, why is there a plane on the 3rd floor?
Go to any major gallery in any major city and you will see far more quality Dutch art than they have at the Rejksmuseum. Save yourself €20 and a lot of queuing.

It is a great museum. It was crowded. But while waiting in the line for guests without tickets we booked online on our smartphone. Then we could skip the street and walk right through the entrance of people with tickets and cards.
It was a bit disappointing that, once inside, We had to queue twice for the coatcheck. Shouldn't be too hard to hire some extra people.
We saw the masterpieces and some other treasures. Beautiful art in a beautiful building.

A must-see if you’re in Amsterdam. Although there can be a big queue, it moves rather quickly. It is a lovely museum with a very large collection of interesting objects and paintings. I guess one of the best collections in the world!

Een belevenis. Het museum telt zo veel objecten dat je er wel even zoet bent. Enige nadeel is dat het er erg druk is en daardoor de wachttijden bij de toilet, de garderobe en het restaurant erg lang zijn.

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is very impressive. It’s very huge so you’re going to need some time to view it properly. If you’re not interested in art, history or art history, don’t bother going. If those topics do interest you, you should definitely visit the Rijks!

Het Rijksmuseum te Amsterdam is het mooiste museum van Nederland. Daar is geen twijfel over mogelijk. Na de verbouwing is het nog fantastischer geworden en hierdoor nog meer een must-see! Een collectie die alleen maar hoogtepunten lijkt te hebben, maar als extra hoogtepunt de eregallerij heeft, met schilderijen van onder andere Rembrandt en Vermeer. Voor iedereen een must-see!
