Van Gogh Museum Tickets and Guided Tours

These are the ways to visit the Van Gogh Museum. The entry ticket has a start time, like every ticket to the museum, so pick the day and hour that suit you before the slots run out. For a first visit the entry ticket is enough. If you want the story told as you walk, choose a guided tour.
