Spinozahuisje, House museum in Rijnsburg, Netherlands
The Spinoza House features a reconstruction of the philosopher's personal library with parchments and leather-bound volumes from the seventeenth century.
From 1661 to 1663, philosopher Baruch Spinoza resided in this house, where he worked grinding lenses for optical instruments while developing his philosophical theories.
The museum exhibits portraits, letters, documents, and instruments that demonstrate the intellectual environment of the Dutch Golden Age.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 13:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at 6 euros and free entry for children under 15.
Visitors can observe the operation of a seventeenth-century lens grinding machine, illustrating the practical work that supported Spinoza's philosophical endeavors.
