This is the house where Rembrandt and his family lived and where he worked from 1639-1658. The interior has been restored as closely as possible to that time, and is furnished with things comparable to what was in the house in 1650. At that time, Rembrandt's possessions were inventoried, due to bancruptcy.
In the Cabinet, or curio room, Rembrandt kept various objets d'art including stuffed animals, coins, and weapons. The second floor was a studio for his pupils, as well as a special graphics studio where he and his pupils made prints. It was indescribable to be able to touch the press Rembrandt touched, and walk where he had walked. Until visiting the house, I hadn't realized that he had produced so many etchings.
There is a shop on the ground floor where various reproductions, postcards and other souvenirs can be purchased. The house is located quite near the Waterlooplein Market. The two activities combined make a pleasant afternoon.
