Getting the most out of a Temporary Museumkaart

Posted by (Columbia MD) on

I will be in The Netherlands the first week in May and considering the Temporary Museumkaart. I definitely want to see the Van Gogh museum, where entry is only through a 32.50 euro Van Gogh/Stedelijk combo ticket (plus a 10 euro fee when used with a Museumkaart). With this in mind, I have the following questions:

If I use the Museumkaart for only the Van Gogh museum (and skip the Stedelijk), does that visit count as one museum visit and leave me four museums to visit? Or would it count as two museum visits, leaving me with three museums to visit.

Conversely, if I use the Museumkaart ticket to visit both the Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk does that count as two museum visits and leave me three museums to visit? Or would it count as one museum visit, leaving me with four museums to visit?

Thanks!

As the Stedelijk/VanGogh combo ticket is not a usual situation, not sure anyone can help answer that question, probably best to contact the Museumkaart people. If it were me (absent a clear answer from them), I'd visit your choice of four museums first and leave Van Gogh for last. If you actually want to see the Stedelijk then you could try the ticket after Van Gogh and see what happens.

I appreciate the feedback - I have been in touch with Museumkaart and Van Gogh museum, where both are responsive but my questions suffer from translation. My best guess is that the combo tickets are considered two separate tickets and if I only visit one of the museums it will only count as one museum visit. This would have the lowest cost for the museums on my must-see list. Interestingly, if I separately pay for the Van Gogh/Stedelijk combo card and use the Museumkaart five visits for my next most expensive must-sees it's only 5 euro more. I'll provide another post if and when things get clarified.
