    Rembrandt lived in this house for about 17 years. He bought it in 1639, but unfortunately he went bankrupt in 1656 and he had to sell at auction everything of value in his house. The house was recently restored and furnished with items from Rembrandt’s time. Inside you can see a big collection of Rembrandt’s etchings, and if you visit the museum on Wednesdays and at weekends you will be able to watch a demonstration of how etchings are printed and how paint was maid in the seventh-century.
    Mon-Sat 10am-5 pm
    Sun and public holidays 1pm-5pm

    Visiting this museum was a true pleasure. This is not only for the fact that I love the works of this great artist but I have been fascinated by his life. This ten room house is an excellent testament to the extraordinary and at times very sad life of the genius, Rembrandt van Rijn. Each room was restored in 1999 to look like it did back the mid 1600's when Rembrandt lived here for 19 years. In each room, there are placks that chronical life of Rembrandt and his financial woes. He would eventually go bankrupt as he suffered from the tendency to spend more than he earned. Rembrandt was quite the collector of art and other brickbrack like stuffed animals and religious icons. There are rooms full of these pieces that you gaze at as you tour the house. There are also recreations of his shop included demonstrations on how he created his sketch art. As for his sketch art, attached to the old house is a new building which houses many of examples of his fabulous etchings. These works are often overlooked in favour of his paintings but they should not be as they are superb.
    The museum is opened on Mon-Sat 10am-5pm; Sun and holidays 1-5pm.

    For an interesting hour or so, visit the house Rembrandt had to leave when he went bankrupt. Besides seeing how people of that era lived when wealthy, it also has a nice collection of etchings and drawings by other people. Try to go on a Wednesday afternoon. There's someone available to demonstrate how etchings and other prints are done. Since we have a large collection, this was really fascinating and meaningful.

    This is the house where Rembrandt actually lived, painted, and conducted the business from 1639 to 1656 when he went bankrupt.

    Each room is decorated with furnitures from 17th century. This museum owns an almost complete collection of his etchings. Not many paintings were on display, but it was very interesting to stand in the room which appears in his paintings.

    This is the home of the Netherlands greatest painter. Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn lived from 1606-1669, and during the period 1639-1659, lived in this house where he worked on many of his masterpieces. On display are a number of works by the master himself as well as works by pupils and followers.

    This isn't really a Rembrandt House tip at all, but it is just down the road!

    On my last visit I had, in my head, the intention of writing a "Warnings and Dangers" tip for Amsterdam - this involved sitting outside a cafe somewhere, with just the right lighting behind me and just waiting for the right shots. See my tip!

    And of course, since this may require several hours hard work - a beer or two and a nibble are absolutely essential.

    Rembrandt Corner is an ideal location for all of these activities and just generally going with the flow - beer prices are reasonable and the food is ok - tho I only had a kass and salami tosti

    Many go crazy by Van Gogh, others adore Vermeer, but most loved within the Netherlands is for sure Rembrandt. This was one of the earlier utch painters and his "Nachtwacht" is the pride of the Rijksmuseum. Rembrandt van Rijn lived from 1606 until 1669 and died in quite poor status. If only he knew what his paintings would be worth now ...
    He lived a long period in the house on the Jodenbreestraat, that is now made into a museum.

    In this house lived and worked the famous and world known painter Rembrandt (Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn) from 1639 till 1660, together with his wife Saskia (she died here in 1642). Their son Titus was born here. The house was built in 1606.
    Many of his famous masterpieces were made in his studio on the 1st floor. The interior of the house has been restored to its 17th-century state.
    A superb collection of Rembrandt’s etchings is permanently on display and is the only place in the world where they can be seen.
    Open daily.

    Rembrandt lived in this house between 1639 and 1658. It is now called Museum het Rembrandthuis or the Rembrandt House Museum.

    If you like Rembrandt, etchings, history, this is an easy stop. Sometimes they have in house artists producing etchings, which can be quite marvelous to watch.

    A very nice small museum, worth a short visit.
