Having taken public transportation to the Kröller-Müller Museum in April, I would recommend renting…read morea car if you're traveling in a group from Amsterdam as it's definitely worth it! In the meantime, my adventure on a train, two buses, and getting dropped at the outside gate and then using a free white bike to get to the actual museum was a unique adventure I will certainly never forget! I admittedly headed to the museum purely for the Van Gogh collection, but wound up enjoying a number of rooms of other Impressionists' works (some I'd heard of before and some that were totally new to me.) The museum staff was friendly - if extremely diligent about enforcing their no backpack policy (don't worry they have a cloak room.) If you've been to Amsterdam, already experienced the Van Gogh museum, and consider yourself a fan this is the perfect place to visit your second time around. The collection is lovely, with some pieces that just drip that amazing Van Gogh texture. (Also, an important Odelin Redon painting is tucked around the back in there!) If your trip is set in stone you absolutely MUST book your pass to the museum in advance. Whether you're driving or taking public transport, this will get you access into Hoge Veluwe park without having to stop - either by car, or by getting kicked off the bus at the park gate and having to walk/bike the rest of the way! If you are going to brave the public transportation system a bit of advice: Make sure you tap through the current turnstiles getting to your train so you have an active trip while on the train so the conductors can scan your pass and move on.

One of my very favorites in the world!…read more This museum has everything, and the location is tops. For being outside of Amsterdam, I mean. The food is expensive, of course, but the coffee is good and affordable with the typical apple pie serving. The collection, amassed by Mrs. Kröller-Müller (German descent and quite an interesting lady), constantly changes and it updates with various angles of experiencing art for your personal challenges and artistic/art-appreciation growth. Mrs. Kröller-Müller enjoyed the tutelage of one of the premier art experts during the twentieth century, and with her (unlimited) budget she developed quite a taste for the expressionist and impressionist era paintings. She favored Bart van der Lek, whom she even used as a private painter in their home, also located within the park. Outside, a wonderful garden exhibit with statues and art pieces, including a staircase (to the heavens ;o) which you are not allowed to climb (bad accident occurred a long time ago), where your children can lose their sense of play and run around, even within the Jardin ceramic garden (a stark, black & white enormous above ground piece that is world-famous, but I have misplaced the name in my brain at the moment; I promise to update once I think of it), and where you can enjoy the trees and flowers Holland enjoys growing in its great soil and weather conditions. Because it is located inside a national park (not funded by the Dutch government but with memberships, and private & corporate donations), that is huuuuuuge (for Dutch standards) because Mr. Kröller loved to hunt big animals (and he copied the King, of course), it is such a lovely place to visit. Besides that, this museum houses the largest (!) collection of Van Gogh outside of the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. I am such a lucky person to live near...

Great museum in a lovely setting. The first I've been to that focuses on a loss by "the good guys"…read more The audio tour pairs well with the exhibits. Don't forget to go dorm to the minus 3 level for the special exhibit.

The museum is well done. My husband wanted to come here for many years. We finally made it. They…read moreare doing some renovation for the 75th anniversary. Most of the writings are in Dutch and English. We parked across the street as we didn't see any parking lot. There is a huge park behind the museum which is a lovely place for a walk. The basement has a walk through to make you feel like you were there during the battle. The cost is 11 Euros per person to enter. Gift shop is small. I am glad my husband finally got to make it to this part of the world and see first hand what he had read about for years.
