Rembrandt House Museum
Museum Het Rembrandthuis
Rembrandt's home and studio from 1639 to 1658, reconstructed from its inventory, with daily demonstrations of etching and paint grinding.
Rembrandt lived in this canal-side house for nearly 20 years, where he painted The Night Watch. After going bankrupt, he was forced to sell it. The museum has reconstructed the kitchen, bedrooms, studio and his cabinet of curiosities based on the inventory of his possessions drawn up at his bankruptcy in 1656, and it displays most of his etchings. Every day there are demonstrations of traditional etching printing and paint grinding. Admission is about €20 and includes an audio guide. It is on Jodenbreestraat in the Jewish Quarter. Exit Waterlooplein metro station and you are there. You can also browse the flea market at Waterlooplein nearby.
