This is where Rembrandt kept his collection of objets d’art and rarities. Arranged on shelves around the walls were innumerable rare objects, many of which came from distant lands. Rembrandt collected seashells, corals, dried animals and exotic weapons. There were busts of Roman emperors, Venetian glassware and a terrestrial and a celestial globe. The room was a world of art and discovery in miniature. Rembrandt’s ‘art books’ were his most prized possession. He kept some 8000 drawings and prints by famous artists in these albums.
