Fantastic! Go early and book tickets l loved it being an etcher myself. Spent 2hrs in there. Very interesting audio experience ❤️
Friendly staff, detailed audio guides and supplementary information on the device they provide. You might not see a lot of Rembrandt's works but it is still worth visiting to know more of his personal history and interesting setting of a Dutch house. Since it is a small place, there can be a crowd in each room.
Hey there! If you're exploring through Amsterdam and you're down for a seriously cool time, you gotta hit up the Rembrandt House Museum. It's like stepping into a time machine and landing smack dab in the middle of Rembrandt's world.
First off, the vibe is totally chill. You're walking through this legit 17th-century crib, feeling like you're straight-up part of history. You can practically hear Rembrandt's paintbrushes tapping away as you wander through his pad. Plus, the place is decked out with all sorts of cool exhibits, from his early sketches to his iconic masterpieces.
But here's the real kicker: the audio tour is off the charts. It's like having your own personal guide dropping knowledge bombs left and right. You're learning all about Rembrandt's life, his techniques, and the crazy stories behind his artwork. It's like hanging out with a bunch of art history bros who really know their stuff.
And let me tell ya, the art is next-level. Rembrandt's etchings are like nothing you've ever seen, and his self-portraits? Dude, they're like staring into the soul of a true legend.
So whether you're a hardcore art nerd or just looking for a wicked cool time in Amsterdam, the Rembrandt House Museum is where it's at. Get ready to have your mind blown and your Instagram feed lit up with some seriously epic pics.

Great museum / time capsule of Rembrandt’s adult life. Make sure you grab the free headset to listen to the self guided tour. Many languages are available. The tour is all done with a little cell phone sized touchscreen computer. It gives you information and is divided by room. For each room they also have a section that you can go through for specific info on all the art in that space. This museum was Rembrandt’s home during his most prolific period including when he painted Nights Watch. They don’t think he painted it in his studio in the house because it was just way too large but many other great pieces over 17 years were. It includes his home, his office, where he entertained and discussed custom commissions and his studio where he taught many artists. The whole house was put back to the way it would have been when he went bankrupt and lost everything. The logbook of all the contents of the house is on display and that is how they were able to put everything in its place along with views of the house in various sketches and paintings. I especially liked see the paintings he had hanging that were not his but he was inspired by or were done for him or by one of his students. The walls are filled with paintings like a maximalist dream. The bed cupboards are eye opening! They even had a workshop to show you how paint was made and mixed in this time period and a display that shows you how etchings are made. They have a great gift shop that is small but mighty in its offerings! I was happy to walk away with my own Rembrandt!
An interesting tour of the private life of Rembrandt. The house is refurnished to fit the time he lived there, based on a inventory taken when he moved out. The audiotour comes free with the ticket and is informative and well spoken. The collection room is very cool, and his painting studio is very interesting. They also have the largest collection of existing copper printing plates carved by Rembrandt, viewable in a room where an artist does printing demonstrations. After you go up through the house, you can come down an addition with a second tour of temporary exhibits. A rather low key museum experience. I enjoyed it.
My favorite museum in Amsterdam. It feels more like stepping into the history of a home and artist's studio than a staged place. Recommend you book your tickets for the opening time and enjoy! Highly recommend.
Quite a nice museum, offering a window into Rembrandt's life. The house was Rembrandt's home and studio from 1639 to 1658, a period that saw him create some of his most famous works.
The home itself is luxurious and reflected Rembrandt's success at the peak of his career.
The staff who worked there were helpful and seemed to enjoy working in the house. My favourite part was the etching demonstration that showcased the very technique Rembrandt used to create his renowned prints
