Rembrandts husmuseum

Väl värt ett besök

Väldigt trevligt museum med en inblick i hur livet kunde gått till i huset. En hel del fin konst, fina miljöer. Väl värt ett besök, inga köer.

Vackert!

Ett mycket vackert museum där man får en god inblick i Rembrandt liv och verk. Spännande att vara i det hus där konstnären verkade.

Missa inte

Museet ger en mycket bra bild av Rembrants liv och hans tid. Inte minst hur hans verk idag kan identifieras men olika tekniker.

Ett måste för Rembrandt-fan

Ett mycket lärorikt och vackert museum där man byggt upp hur Rembrandt levde och återberättade hur han levde. Ta med dig audio-turen och njut av en tidsresa. Fungerar inte för handikappade, mycket gång i trappor.

Intressant

Ett välordnat och informativt litet museum där man får en bra känsla för hur Rembrandt bodde och arbetade. Även bra visningar av guide hur man tex blandar de oljefärger som användes. Smala och branta trappor dock för att ta sig uppåt i huset.

Unique tour into Rembrandt

Interesting tour and a unique way to see into Rembrandt’s life. The tour was just the right length for me and I would recommend it.

Not only learn about the artist, but about life in Amsterdam in mid-1600s

Our party of 6 did not pre-book a tour time, but walked over on a Thursday afternoon in late June to see about reserving a spot and we were delighted to find that there was no wait, so we paid and went right in. We spent a very pleasant hour walking through Rembrandt's house and the associated museum. There is an audio tour that you pick up on the way in, which has several language choices. You follow a path through the floors of the house, using a spiral staircase between the five floors. Most of the house is re-created, with a few original pieces, but it is re-created from meticulous records from when the house was sold. They do not portray Rembrandt as a particularly nice or moral man, but instead present the known facts of his life and pay homage to his talent. This is not an art museum, though there are several wonderful paintings and sketches on display. This instead is a great place to learn not only about the life of a great artist, but also about life in Amsterdam in the mid-1600s.

Life and art. Leave time to appreciate the etchings in the exhibition.

This is almost two visits joined together - a tour of a 17th century house interior and an exhibition of lesser known works by Rembrandt. Be sure you allow yourself enough time to appreciate the exhibition. We visited at 10.45 on a timed ticket and stayed about 2 hours. The audio guide was included and very good. The house was busy but not unbearable. The artists teaching studio including paint making demonstration was very educational. Those massive canvases completed when each dab of paint had be be mixed immediately and arduously; those drawings produced by bits of charcoal attached to a stick - mind boggling. I found looking at the paintings by his friends and pupils rather intriguing and useful context after seeing the masterpieces at the Rijksmuseum. Getting a deeper understanding of Rembrandt's life and how it interplayed with the works of art in the museum was interesting. Highly recommended.

Interesting

It is interesting and nice that this museum is in the house that Rembrandt himself really lived. It has also interior things from Rembrands time. It is located in central Amsterdam and easy to find. Not very cheap but worth the money. I thought that the museum would be filled with Rembrands art, but most of the paintings are made by other artists. So if you want to see a lot of Rembrandts paintings I think The Rijksmuseum is a better choice. It is also situated in Amsterdam.

Everything esa perfect
