Get to know the man behind the art
Rembrandt van Rijn spend almost twenty years of his life, living in the house. When you step inside you will follow his life story from the moment he moved in until his forced departure due to debts. Though 2.5 centuries separate Rembrandt’s living in the house and it becoming a museum, it has been beautifully restored to take you back to the 17th-century.
The latest refurbishment of the museum was completed in 2023, which gave the museum 30% more space to tell the painters story. With five new spaces and a brand new multimedia tour, Rembrandt’s House and the 17th-century truly come alive before your eyes.
A home, a studio, a museum
As you walk through the museum, you’ll see Rembrandt’s living room, where he also slept, art room and the studio where he created many of his incredible pieces. The forced sale of Rembrandt’s belongings in the 17th-century meant that a list was drawn up of everything there was in the house, room by room. And that list is how the museum has been able to so accurately reconstruct the house and living environment.
The new spaces created during the latest refurbishment of the museum include an epilogue room, where you can see the entire list, an etching loft and a third exhibition hall. Every day in the museum, you can join etching and painting demonstrations. And in the studio, you can learn how Rembrandt made his paints.

Not a must visit
I did not find the actual house itself as interesting as how the museum presented the paint-making and painting process. It is not a must visit on your first visit to Amsterdam but if you wish to learn more about the techniques of painting then it is a great place!

Rembrandt’s house
From extremely hectic Rokin I took a nice walk to the Rembrandt House Museum, which was included in my I Amsterdam card. The museum has the largest collection of etchings created by the artist. His drawings are on different subjects: nature, love, family life (the drawing of his “Prodigal Son “ is there)… The rooms are recreated to produce an image of the house he had owned with his first wife Saskia, and then with Hendrickje Stoffels, whom he never married, and his son, Titus. There is a replica of his work room, his bedroom and his kitchen, the place where he was mixing paints and preparing canvases… I also looked at etching process demo, which was quite entertaining. You can also see the complete collection of Rembrandt’s etchings on the second floor. All of this was very interesting and brought me closer to one of my favorite painters, but to see his immortal art you have to go to the Rijksmuseum.

Great experience!
Great experience! Very informative and seeing how an etching is made was a highlight. We were told it takes about an hour, but we were nearly 2hrs.

Interesting and Informative Self-Tour!
And of course you can't visit Amsterdam without Rembrandt! He was a true Amsterdamer, and although he never left the Netherlands, he felt that he traveled the world through art! The Rembrandthuis Museum is housed in a residence that was his home for about 20 years. He was an affluent & respected artist, but after a time, financial difficulties forced him to find a smaller home. The audio guide allowed you to tour the residence at your own pace. Not only was the property the families personal residence, but it also was his studio, a studio for art apprenticeships, and his art dealership. The house, in true 17th century splendor, is adorned with the prints, sculptures, and paintings of other painters from Rembrandt’s time. A collection of almost all Rembrandt’s etchings, prints, and the graphic techniques he used are also shown. No visit to Amsterdam would be complete without a visit to the Rembrandthuis Museum.

Go see Rembrandt’s house!
Great look at a house from the time. He was rich and the house reflects it. Tour is very nicely done, rooms interesting, and the etching and paint making exhibits fun.

Rembrandthuis
The Rembrandthuis was an amazing experience. The free audiotour was full of interesting facts. It gave insightis into the life of Rembrandt and his family. Everything was carefully arranged and authentic.

Very well presented and interesting museum/house
Allow about an hour. The audio guide is excellent, giving just the right amount of information. The artefacts and the house very interesting. The filmed visuals of etching production/printing & paint making were good. Glad we went. We went at 10am when it opened not sure if it would be as atmospheric once more people inside, but entry is by timed ticket so it would never be crowded, Well worth a visit and is included on the I Amsterdam card.

REMBRANDT
Very educational visit, a must visit. Visiting the actual Rembrandt home and seeing personal belongings, items and listening to the audio was quite the experience.

Must visit! Plenty of artwork and 2 experiences
You will need around 2 hours to fully experience this museum, as it spreads across multiple floors and has a lot of artwork as well as artifacts collected and displayed. Moreover, we got to enjoy two educational experiences, the first where they explain and demonstrate how the paint pigments were sourced and mixed with oil, and the second related to making copies using etching.
