The Hermitage has a wing with the Vinces ... Lines were amazingly long when they first opened in late September
but thinned out tho the point that we went in one morning in mid October. The lighting is better , the people we spoke to
were happy with the display ...So if you want to see Vince he's still there and maybe even better located . Lots of security on site .

Why not take a day trip to the Kroller-Muller Museum instead.
It has a fantastic collection of Van Goghs, has less crowds, other artists on view, great sculpture park too. You can also rent a bike and cycle round the woods if that takes your fancy.

Looking forward to go back to the park as we only had half an hour inside before the closed (4:30 or something). They had other works and Picasso too.

The day we went was sunny and since it was summer, we biked around the dunes which were sort of surreal in a good way. It stayed light out until about 10pm. You don't need to rent the bikes, they are all white and located in several places. You just find one that works well and start riding.

The sculptures were cool as well but we should have gone to the museum first instead of walking around the outside since we could have done the sculpture part later (I don't think they close those off, but it is best to check.

Also, if taking the train to get to the town, go straight to the buses to the park after arriving and not wait in the queue to ask questions and wait another hour because they seemed synced with the train schedule. We wasted an hour and hardly anyone spoke English in that part of the Netherlands it seemed. It was a worthwhile visit though despite the delay.
