- Karen J17 contributionsBest art galllery everBest art gallery I've ever been too. Was going to go and see Escher at The Palace but my son suggested here so that we go here for a mix. The activities in the basement were well thought out and we learnt a lot. The Economy of Money was a wonderful suprise, very thought provoking and right up our street. I think we spent 5hrs here in total. Recommend this for famiies and people of all agesVisited April 2023Written May 6, 2023
- LovelyTrees56 contributionsTop-notchSo well laid out and welcoming!! Was looking forward to seeing the Mondriaans, but some are at the Tate Modern. Still, they seem to have brought out works they don't usually have on show. The Escher interpretations were excellent as well. Food at the cafe superb. So easy to get to on the no. 17 tram.Visited July 2023Written July 21, 2023
- Helen H4 contributionsLovely museum with a good range of exhibitions and free for under 18sReally lovely museum with a good range of different exhibitions. The building itself is worth a visit and has a lovely central café space. The current Escher exhibition was excellent, especially the inclusion of modern artworks inspired by his art. It's a little way out from the centre, but it's easy to get a tram.Visited August 2023Traveled with familyWritten August 15, 2023
- Allan TManchester, United Kingdom72 contributionsThe genius that is MC EscherI wandered through most of the rooms because it has to be one of the emptiest art museums I've ever visited. the Delft porcelain I could look at with nobody there - it is amazing. I could sit in front of a Monet, a van Gogh, and some amazing paintings with nobody there. some of the paintings and exhibits are 1960s and 70s modern art which are not great but there are originals by MC Escher which are fabulous.Visited September 2023Traveled soloWritten September 10, 2023
- vanessabK6664WXCambridge, United Kingdom22 contributionsGreat visitIt was very easy to get to the Kunstmuseum - the number 17 tram stops right outside. There was no queue to get in. There were a few school trips there, but the museum is big enough to avoid any big groups. I do not understand modern art and was mystified by some of the exhibits. I enjoyed seeing the Mondrian work and some Delft pottery is beautifully displayed in a wood paneled room. There was a piece of Black Delft which I have not come across before. Overall, I had a great visit and would recommend it. I visited between exhibitions, so some galleries were closed while they changed over. I asked about gluten free food in the cafe. Most of the food involved bread, so I had a very limited choice but could have had a tuna salad.Visited September 2023Traveled soloWritten October 6, 2023
- Marla HSeattle, Washington20 contributionsA relaxed museumThis museum is so much larger than it appears. The staff were all pleasant with this 'only-English' speaker. Quite a variety of exhibits. The Hilma afKlint - Piet Mondrian exhibition was amazing. The cafe was pleasant and their food was tastyVisited October 2023Traveled soloWritten October 22, 2023

The collection of Alphonse Mucha was really nice but the service of the staff was bad. This wasn’t the first time I was treated bad at this museum. Last time I showed my ticket and somehow she assumed I had not paid and wanted me to pay again but I had bought a ticket online and was allowed to go to the entrance. She screamed at me. Today I showed our tickets on the phone and QR code. Normally they just scan the code and I assume if it’s not right they will see that but I had valid tickets and they wanted to scan the QR code or so I assumed. He wanted to see the complete ticket. Okay fine but he told me that some don’t pay and he had to see everything and then he scrolled to my phone(hello not covid proof and I had saved the tickets to photos so he saw my personal photos). I just don’t like that they assume you might not have paid and then lecture me(and the way they said it and looked at us) I paid and I could show the tickets both times so why do they treat me like someone who would lie their way into a museum? Absolutely hate the service and way they talk to you in this museum. Not customer friendly

This is one of my favourite museum in the Nederland. The museum has a huge collection of wonderful works of art. Anyone who is passionate about art should visit this place. I spent over 5 hours in it and I feel that I could come back there again and see more.

We went to the Kunstmuseum on a Sunday morning as soon as it opened at 10.00. It has a wonderful collection of artifices and runs a number of special exhibitions at the same time for which there is no additional charge. We enjoyed the Grayson Perry exhibition and the Strandbeesten ( beach monsters). The museum is large and small enough to have an enjoyable morning wit a nice coffee in the middle. Highly recommended.

First of all, the building is beautiful. It's a piece of art itself. The layout is complicated so finding exhibitions is sometimes a bit of challenge.
You will find work here by famous artists like Mondrian, Kandinsky, Picasso and Van Gogh.
If you like the current exhibitions it's a must visit!

Never visited the Kunstmuseum before, but it is actually quite nice! The Mondriaan exhibition was quite well laid out showing the progression of the artist in fine detail. The best was of course the exhibition of the Strandbeesten which visitors could move all by themselves. Also the atelier is worth a visit to make something nice with kids.

nice looking building, inside. i was there recently for the balenciaga exhibit and it was well worth it. there is an interactive exhibit for preteens in the basement(i enjoyed it, as well) and their house, modern art exhibit, which was also enjoyable. the cafe has seating in a large, enclosed courtyard with a glass roof. it must be a lot of fun to be in when there's a rainstorm. especially since it's not far from the sea. it would probably be fun to see it snowcovered, as well.

Wonderful exhibits that are well laid out. The museum building is an art exhibit in itself; filled with light that enhances the exhibits. The cafe is lovely and again light filled. Staff were rather surely; at times I felt stalked and under surveillance.

Take a good long look at the website, and pay close attention to the dates of the exhibits. We were disappointed that some of the exhibits that put this museum on our radar were not yet open, or had already closed. What was left was modern art, and some mid-century design. Interesting, but not worth the time (to us) that we had allotted. It is hard to give an accurate rating as art is (arguably) different to each of us. I am not a modern art buff so much, so would have rated much lower, but for others this was phenomenal. Remember this when looking at reviews for museums.

Is er voldoende parkeergelegenheid rond het museum? I.v.m. Corona willen we niet met het OV.

How close is this Museum to the Vredepaleis (Peace Palace). We want to visit both in one day.

Yes, it's about a 20 minute walk. It's worth it, you'll see some beautiful houses on your way. Have a great time!

Hi, I'm planning a visit to the museum, mainly to see the collection of expressionist art. I was wondering how many pieces are actually on view of the over 900 listed on the museum site. Thanks.
