We were in Amsterdam during March 26-April 3 in 2000. We didn't buy any tickets ahead of time, don't remember there being much of a line. I don't know about tickets in advance, but if you email the tourist board, they will email you back. I'll try to find the address...

I have visited the museum several times without purchasing ticket ahead. However,<BR>there is a big exhibition "Van Gogh and Gauguin" this year up to June 2nd. There is a list of places around the world you could purchase tickets ahead. Check:www.Vangoghgauguin.com.

We returned from Amsterdam 2 days ago.<BR>The city seemed almost deserted to us.<BR>We toured the Van Gogh exhibit on Monday night and we were the only people in the museum.<BR>The restaurants all had tables to spare.<BR>Consider renting a car, as we did, and travel North or South to see windmills, villages and the countryside.<BR>We had a great time.

Sally,<BR>Just returned from 5 days in A'dam. Had no trouble getting in to Van Gogh or any other museum. I don't think I'd bother with reservations as they restrict what time you must arrive. Also check out the Rembrant museum; they are presenting a show of his early works and a tour of the house where he lived and worked...it was great!

Sally, since you are going during the popular tulip season, I think you want to get your tickets in advance. I will tell you that the Van Gogh-Gauguin exhibit was often sold out here in Chicago. It's a wonderful experience, so if your heart is set on seeing it, I'd say get the tickets in hand.

We are going in April. We ordered tickets through a phone link from the vangoghgaugin website sited above. They told me that due to the popularity of that particular exhibit there would be very few tickets available each day from the museum itself. Good luck.
