Best time of day for Van Gogh museum

Hi all - planning a visit to the Van Gogh museum on Friday 17 Oct 2025. We have morning plans already so we can’t go at my preferred museum time (be there when the doors open!).
Anyone have thoughts on the better time to avoid crowds? I think it’s open until 9pm on Fridays. Does it get very busy after dinner? Am I better off around 4pm (before dinner)? I’ll want 2-3 hours to spend. Thanks!

Late-afternoons tend to have less traffic during the week. And on a Friday, as early weekend doin's start to pull people elsewhere, that would be a great time to visit.
