What makes the Rembrandt House Museum a special day out

More than a museum: here you literally step into Rembrandt’s home, furnished as it looked in the 17th century. You walk through his living room, his studio and the art cabinet where he kept his collection.

The museum was awarded one of the best days out in North Holland. In the original studio, museum educators show you daily how Rembrandt made his famous prints, from copper plate to print. A multimedia tour in several languages guides you past all the highlights.

Who is this day out for?

the Rembrandt House Museum is a day out for everyone. Art and culture lovers discover one of the most important collections of etchings in the world. Families with children can get hands-on and watch the demonstrations up close.

Even if you only have half a day, this is a perfect stop: you can do it in as little as 45 minutes and the museum is in the city centre, within walking distance of Waterlooplein and Nieuwmarkt. Easy to combine with a walk through the old Jewish Quarter.
