Rembrandt House Museum

ArchitectureArtHistoryOpen until 6pmFrom €23.5Nieuwmarkt (metro)

Rembrandt van Rijn bought this tall brick house on the Jodenbreestraat in 1639 and lived and worked here for 19 years, until bankruptcy forced its sale. Using the inventory drawn up by his creditors, the museum has refurnished the interiors as they stood in his lifetime: the living quarters, the north-lit painting studio, the etching room and the cabinet of curiosities crammed with shells, coral, weapons and casts. Daily demonstrations show how seventeenth-century paints were ground and how an etching was printed. Alongside the period rooms the museum holds a near-complete collection of Rembrandt's prints and mounts a changing programme of exhibitions by old masters and contemporary artists.
