Rembrandt House Museum

In Jodenbreestraat 4 in Amsterdam you will find the house where Rembrandt lived until his bankruptcy in 1658. The house was saved by a doomed fate in 1906 from the City of Amsterdam and handed over to the Stichting Rembrandthuis Foundation in 1907. The Foundation aim was to restore the house as it was in the years when the artist lived in it. The restoration ended in 1911 and an exhibition of prints was the first exhibition that took place in the Museum. The opening was inaugurated by Queen Wilhelmina. Since the first restoration was not historically faithful another one, based on the accurate records of Rembrandt's bankruptcy, was completed in 1999. Since its early days, the collection of the museum grew steadily thanks to purchases and gifts of Rembrandt's works. Nowadays the House of Rembrandt Museum is also available for wedding ceremonies. The Museum is open every day (with the only exception of the 1st of January) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The ticket costs 8 euros for adults, it is free for children up to 6 years and costs 1.50 euros for children from 6 years to 15 years. If you have a Museum Card or an I Amsterdam Card you will enter for free.
