The person in charge of checking the tickets made us change them for free. Phew!<\/p>\n<h3>Good plan to buy your ticket for the Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam<\/h3>\n<p>We advise you to buy tickets for the Van Gogh Museum in advance, they are delivered by email within 24 hours.<br \/>\nNormally, you have to select a time slot and date for your visit to the Van Gogh Museum. With these &#8220;direct entrance&#8221; tickets to the Van Gogh Museum, you can decide when you want to visit the museum (just be careful: this ticket is not valid for the day of the order).<\/p>\n<h3>Continuation of the visit of the Van Gogh Museum<\/h3>\n<p>Then, a new surprise: the locker room is free! We had also taken <strong>audioguides<\/strong>, in my opinion, essential to appreciate such works.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to these well-made audioguides, I was able to appreciate the work of a painter whose work was not as good as mine. I practically only knew his <em> self-portraits<\/em>. His work is so much richer!<\/p>\n<p>The explanation of his life and his intentions with his painting (choice of colors to show emotions for example) allowed me to understand his work and to appreciate particularly some of his paintings. Landscapes, flowers, boats, scenes of daily life of peasants&#8230; A very great sensitivity emerges from this work!<\/p>\n<p>Take advantage of your stay in Amsterdam to discover or rediscover this great painter!<\/p>\n<h2>The Van Gogh Museum as seen by Angel<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_792\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-792\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdam.style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/amsterdam-1-36.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-cheerup-grid wp-image-792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdam.style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/amsterdam-1-36-370x285.jpg\" alt=\"Van Gogh history\" width=\"370\" height=\"285\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Discovery of the Van Gogh Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam is beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>I really advise you to take the audio guides which allow you to discover the true story of the artist Van Gogh in a playful way.<\/p>\n<p>You will learn about his career as the son of a pastor, then pastor himself, then art dealer, then painter of the Dutch peasants with a style merging the harshness of their conditions and their faces or hands in dark, dirty colors and very thick facial features.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_792\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-792\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdam.style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/amsterdam-1-33.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-cheerup-grid wp-image-792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdam.style\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/amsterdam-1-33-370x285.jpg\" alt=\"Van Gogh Museum\" width=\"370\" height=\"285\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Van Gogh Museum &#8211;
