Museum that tells about the creativity and life of one of the most striking representatives of Dutch painting. In addition to the works of Master Van Gogh, there are exhibited canvases Monet, Gauguin, Picasso, Sulfur. The path of the artist was short, not easy, but very productive - he began to draw after 30 years and created more than 800 paintings until at the age of 37 he shot himself. The museum was organized in 1973.

Read more » instantly jumped in front of me to tell me I can't enter because I have a bag with me (small 'Otto backpack' from 'property of' company). I had just some items - my wallet, asthma medicine, notes and car keys in there. Yet, when I explained her, that her colleague allowed to take the bag with me, she disagreed and asked me to leave. Then I looked around and pretty much 1 in 3 people had some sort of bag or backpack with them. She ignored that and started of with authority flexing.
Worker "Lady" was visibly triggered and got very nervous in no time when I asked why many other people had bags and visibly larger than mine with them, yet I could not enter. Why my bag is a problem? I asked, where are signs or any indication, that I can't take my small bag with me?
Only later, I found out from other workers there, that there were lockers recently installed and I can leave my bag there and have rest of my stuff with me in a transparent bag. I can only wonder, why this worker "Lady" (she did not want to give her first name) was so bad at communicating, awkward, anxious, authority flexing to visitors/customers, yet holds this job, where exactly calm communication and simple explanations are needed...

So when a different staff member, rudely came up to me on the second floor to state "No photos!", then walked away from me, I followed him to let him know that I had asked. There was more to this encounter, but the bottom line is that the museum needs to decide if photos are allowed or not so that staff on one floor don't state one answer and another answer on another floor. So when you visit, be prepared to get two answers. I did not take any photos after I was rudely told not to. However, on this same floor, in the same area, I saw many people taking photos after my encounter. The museum is definitely worth a visit.
