Rembrandt House Museum

The Rembrandt House Museum is a house in the Jodenbreestraat in Amsterdam not far from the new townhall, where Rembrandt lived and painted for a number of years. A few years ago the house was thoroughly reconstructed on the inside to show how the house would have looked in Rembrandt's days. Adjoining (and linked to) the house is a modern building where work of Rembrandt is on display, mainly etchings and also a part of his collection of objects from all over the world.

Rembrandt purchased the house in 1639 and lived there until he went bankrupt in 1656, when all his belongings went on auction. The auction list enabled the reconstructions of all his belongings which are also on display in the house.

Make sure to experience the live demonstration of how Rembrandt made his etchings, which are little known but highly valuable and enjoyable. This 15 minutes will make you admire him a lot more.

I was really surprised with this quaint little museum. The audio tour was really good, and you're able to get through the whole museum in about 45 minutes. Free with your museum pass, take advantage!

Stick around to watch a demonstration of how paint or prints are made, its really fascinating and it the demos are quick. This is a great little museum, and it's free on the museum card.

A good collection of Rembrandt works. Better get an audio guide as there is no information panel anywhere. There is a nice drawing studio on the top cloud where you can sit and draw.

Nice audio tour, and the demonstration how the paints were created back in the days was the highlight of the tour. Great to hear the stories..
