Rembrandt House Museum, House museum in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands.
The Rembrandt House Museum is a historic residence in central Amsterdam where the Dutch painter lived and worked during the 17th century. The rooms are furnished as they might have appeared in his time, with workshop, living area, and exhibition spaces for paintings and sculptures.
Rembrandt van Rijn moved into the house in 1639 and set up his workshop there, but left in 1658 after his bankruptcy. The building itself was erected in 1606 and first served other residents before it was later converted into a museum.
The house collection shows more than three hundred prints from different creative phases. Visitors can trace how the artist transferred light and shadow onto copper plates and refined his technique.
The museum sits near Waterlooplein metro station and opens from Tuesday to Sunday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The corridors are narrow and the stairs are steep, which may pose challenges for wheelchair users.
Excavations in 2019 brought old pots with quartz soil to light that the painter used for preparing his canvases. These finds show how he mixed his colors and which materials he used for the base layer.
