Sadly, the only pictures you will see of me here are..... outside the museum 😢
I made a rookie travel mistake of not getting tickets ahead of time - 🙈
I hopped on line that morning to grab some tickets and it said it was sold out - Ahh! So I trudged down there anyway hoping I might be able to stand in line and get some "day of" tickets (Many places sell timed entry tickets on line but still allow you to wait in line for admission) but alas, no such luck. A little research ahead of time (darn that I didn't read my Rick Steves Amsterdam book a little more closely!) would have told me that they highly recommend you buy these tickets at least a week ahead of time - whoops!
Not the sign I wanted to see....
As close as I'm going to get on this trip.....
Verdict: Obviously I can't give my actual verdict on this one since I couldn't go inside, but I will say this - in the second edition, this is taken out of the book as it's own entry and instead just mentioned as one of the sights in Amsterdam. So that made me feel a little better about missing out this trip. So, while I will make it a point to see this museum (and book ahead of time!) next time I'm in Amsterdam, there are plenty of other things to see and do in Amsterdam - especially on a gorgeous day like this one!
