Museum Het Rembrandthuis

On the north side of Waterlooplein lies one of the most exquisite museums of the Dutch capital, the Museum Het Rembrandthuis (Rembrandt’s House-Museum). For twenty years the greatest artist in the history of Netherlands lived and worked in this impressive building in the heart of Amsterdam, that is now a museum.

The Rembrandt House Museum gives visitors a complete Rembrandt experience. With a seventeenth-century inventory as a guide, the house has been meticulously refurbished with furniture, art and objects from that time. The museum has an almost complete collection of Rembrandt etchings and stages inspiring exhibitions about Rembrandt, his predecessors, contemporaries and disciples.

The Rembrandt House Museum is also a venue for exhibitions of work by contemporary artists—artists who have been inspired by the work of Rembrandt, their seventeenth-century predecessor.

The artist’s small workshop and reconstructed Rembrandt’s rooms with furniture and objects from the 17th century will travel you back in time while you get to learn everything about the history of this amazing house and its defining role in the artist’s life. In the same time you get to see more than 250 works made by the famous artist along with his tools and techniques that are presented in the most graphic way.
