Located on the Museumplein near other interesting sites, The Van Gogh museum is a great way to spend two to three hours. It is very accessible. Just make sure you visit first thing in the morning, or after two to avoid busy times.

There is an underground Q-park parking garage not far from the museum with accessible parking and an elevator. Taxis can also drop you off fairly close to the museum. To simplify things, the company Accessible Travel Netherlands can arrange taxis for you. If going by public transport, be sure to call ahead to ensure all the trams are wheelchair accessible.

staff Text

Good

I did not communicate with staff much. During my visit, I received an important phone call and was asked to talk on my phone outside so that I did not disturb others. In some ways, it shows that they are making efforts to ensure others have a good experience.

Additional Information

Most of the paintings are at a good eye level. There are some that could be a bit challenging to get a good look at in a wheelchair if it is crowded. Just be sure to avoid the busiest times of the day.
