The masters home Apr 28, 2009

The Rembrandt House is a great place to visit and learn more about one of the greatest artists in history.

This house was purchased by Rembrandt at the height of his fame in 1639. The house was recently restored and furnished with period pieces to help visitors understand the surroundings during the mid 1600's.

The fee is 8 euros and includes a guided tour. Visitors are taken on a tour of the home including a visit to the bedroom, kitchen and the artists workroom. In the workroom, an artist demonstrates how Rembrandt and his assistants would make the etching from copper engraved plates.

This was a really nice tour and I recommend seeing the house if you are in the area.

Mine too. Thanks. The other one that is really good is the Heineken experience. Worth the 15 euros.

After a very pleasant water taxi ride we went on a museum safari first the Rembrandt house then Jewish Museum and then the Ann Frank House. The Rembrandt House was built in the 1600’s; it was 3 levels with a spiral staircase, his studio being one of the rooms. No inside plumbing. The Joods Museum is a history… We were way overdue for some culture and refinement so today is museum day.

) Set off at 1pm to catch all the good museums, and found a big flea market on the way to Rembrandt's House. The market was full of second-hand EVERYTHING, from clothes to single shoes (no pairs), to trinkets of all kinds. Rembrandt House was cool, I liked the free audio tour it comes with, and I got to appreciate his box beds… Day 25: Heineken, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Brazilians

I'd also like to the see the Anne Frank house as well as the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, the Rembrandt House Museum, and the Van Gogh Museum. But the experience of stumbling upon the Red Light District will certainly last awhile and the looks I was given by the Hotel staff - who now think… The Red Light District
