Is Van Gogh Museum worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, it depends on the day.

Whether this moves you or just queues you depends entirely on temperament. If you respond to a life told as an arc — the dark Potato Eaters giving way to the late, almost vibrating yellows — the impasto in person genuinely lands in a way no print does, and the Wheatfield with Crows at the end can stop you cold. If you mainly want a famous painting ticked off, the peak-hour conveyor belt will feel like a queue. The catch: it sells out days ahead, timed slots only.
