Although, I had lived in /the Netherlands as a boy and loved Rembrant's paintings I was truly unaware of his personal life.. A visit to this museum and to the Church his wife was buried makes him a much more human and approachable individual. By the way, buy a museum pass, as it is much cheaper than paying at each... More

I visited this museum a number of years ago, but found it thrilling to see where Rembrandt lived and worked and sold his paintings. To stand in the studio where he painted was particularly thrilling for me, an amateur painter. Fascinating! More

This is a small house front in a line of houses and has a small room that is decorated with items from the time Rembrandt lived there. I would not go out of my way to see but if your in the area anyway, stop by More

I really enjoyed seeing this. It is one of hte houses that Rembrandt lived in and is set up with furniture that was LIKE what was in the house, based on inventories taken when Rembrandt went bankrupt. It really gives you a flavor of life in his time and was worth the visit. You can buy your tickets at the... More

After the Van Gogh Museum, this was my favorite stop in Amsterdam. The museum is thoughtfully laid out, the etching demonstration was interesting and a nice touch, and the display of the house as it would have looked in Rembrandts time was fascinating. Our group of 4 really enjoyed this museum and thought it was well worth the cost. The... More

We had trouble finding this place, but it was well worth the walks around the block. Nice insight into Rembrandt's life as well as his art. Fabulous collection of etchings, too. More

Amsterdam has many museums, including some very major ones. Most have very long line ups and big crowds. This is a small, focused museum. It takes only a few hours to visit and feel you have seen it in full. It is actually Rembrant's house. It has been restored and refurbished in accordance with an actual inventory of his belongings.... More

A beautiful house, furnished as it must have been at the time of Rembrandt, who at that time was a prosperous painter and art collector. He lived there when he painted his famous painting Night watching. The visitor is tempted to prefer it to patrician houses in Amsterdam. The Rembrandt huis in Amsterdam is equivalent to the Victor Hugo'shouse in... More

Great museum even though only one small wing of it is open - when it is totally opened, we believe we would need a day or two to see most of it. HIGHLY recommend buying tickets n advance on-line. When you do so there is no need to identify day or time of visit (tickets are valid for remainder of... More
