Museum Van Loon opens house, garden and coach house

Period rooms on the Keizersgracht show the life and collecting of the Van Loon family in a house from 1672 with a garden and rear building.

Rooms as a social stage

Salon, dining room and stairs divide reception, private life and staff. Pay attention to doors and walking routes and ask who was allowed to use which room in the nineteenth century.

Ferdinand Bol and the history of the house

The painter is regarded as the first occupant, while later furnishings mainly reflect the Van Loon family. So keep the construction period, occupants and refurnished period rooms carefully apart.

From façade to coach house

The garden forms a sightline between the main house and the coach house. Compare the representative front, the green space in between and the practical rear as one urban ensemble.

Daily 10.00–17.00; 24 and 31 December until 15.00. Monumental stairs and thresholds limit wheelchair access.
