Having been to it (2017)....I’ll say it’s worth seeing (one of the ten Amsterdam sights I’d recommend), and I agree...it is a aging building.

But the current entry fee is 24 Euro ($27) per adult, and 11 Euro for a student. Hefty cost. I would imagine they’ve looked at 30 Euro per adult but folks would shake their heads.

The funding was eerily cut off.

This is one of my favorite things to visit in Amsterdam....much better than the Anne Frank House, etc. The only place I liked more than the Van Gogh Museum is the Rijksmuseum. I don’t remember it costing anything like that much to get in though the last time I was there in 2003.

Why don’t they make it interesting and add a Van Halen wing to the Van Gogh museum?

Yeah, well, this threat is falling on a deaf ear.

In first?!

Museums close all the time. It isn’t news. What did the museum do with the entrance fees? Did it received US Taxpayers money - from USAID?

A fanatical Van Gogh supporter cut their ear off in protest.

(Tomorrow’s headline today.)

Lol.

I find his painting to be ugly and not worth my time. Hideous, actually. I have seen most children paint similarly.

They could sell one painting and be set for the next 2 decades. Why anyone pays so much for his trash paintings remain a mystery to me, but to each their own.
