A place worth a visit, Van Gogh is worth a visit, although not my dish. His life is very different. The most shocking is the Amsterdam Municipal Museum of Art, which is a contemporary art museum and the works on the second floor are very shocking.
Tickets for the Van Gogh Museum have been very popular, especially when the domestic May Day holiday meets the King's Day holiday in the Netherlands, and decisively set the ticket + voice guide half a month in advance in Trip.com . This holiday is sunny and beautiful! Walking along the canal, full of joy, there was almost no queue after arriving at the museum! I took the guided voice machine at the front desk, there are many languages, and I chose Chinese. After spending 3 serious visits to the exhibition, the cultural and creative products of the gift shop are also people who can't move. A great value trip experience!
In front of Van Gogh's Sunflowers, suddenly the nose sours - those thick yellow oil color hides trembling souls. Follow the ground-projected wheat crow to the Apricot Flowers exhibition hall, the pale blue petals bloom on the snow-white wall. The most broken was the small window on the top floor, where he saw his last unfinished "Roots," and the twisted lines on the canvas screamed silently.
Traveling to the Netherlands with her niece, she loves art, like Van Gogh, so accompanied her in the museum to carefully look at each painting, really can not see where good, but I am very humbly, basically the main explanation of the paintings are photographed. Because the number of pictures above is limited to 15 pictures, the friends who have not been can take a good look.
The first important art gallery on the Amsterdam trip, we arranged a day to see the exhibition, Van Gogh Museum tickets on Trip.com see the designated ticket (admission according to the agreed time) within four days is a floating ticket price, so buying tickets four days in advance is the right way. We have plenty of time. First, look at the Monday tickets for the National Museum of the Netherlands, and then book the tickets for the Van Gogh Museum on Thursday. Stagger the time to make the exhibition more calm. If the time is limited, you must buy the tickets in advance. The museum of the Netherlands does not rest on Monday, almost all year round.
The most worthwhile museum in the Netherlands, no doubt. The first picture is the treasure of the town hall, sunflowers. It is difficult to imagine that a person whose spirit is so decadent and whose life is so devastated will paint such a beautiful and vibrant sunflower, and his spiritual world is inexplicable. The picture on the right is for blind people, you can touch it with your hands, and you can kiss the smell of sunflowers with your nose.
Van Gogh created a total of 11 sunflowers in his life, and now only six are alive, and he is fortunate to see one of the authentic works that are stored in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The other five are stored in Japan-Dongxiang Qinger Art Museum, London-National Gallery, Munich-New Art Gallery, American-Philadelphia Art Museum, and another one is a private collection. Tickets 17 euros, rent explanations 5 euros, can not be brought into the museum, must be stored. There are many souvenirs for Van Gogh's works, it is worth a visit and feel the trajectory of the next generation of masters.
It is worth going. I am an art blind person who feels beautiful and enjoys it. The museum souvenirs are exquisite, cost-effective, and there is not enough time. We didn't stay much and bought a picture book to leave in a hurry. It is recommended to book tickets online in advance.
