Museum Bredius: art in a collector’s setting

Museum Bredius on Lange Vijverberg combines paintings and drawings with furniture, silver, crystal and porcelain. That combination invites you to look not only at individual works of art but also at the setting they share.

Plan your visit ↗

Painting and interior

Notice what happens when a painting hangs close to furniture and everyday objects. The different kinds of objects give the space a different character from a gallery containing only paintings.

Comparing materials

Silver, crystal and porcelain each call for their own way of looking. Look at form and decoration and use the explanations to find out more about function and provenance, where that information is available.

Room for attention

A visit need not be a search for one famous work. The coherence of the collection is precisely what lets you notice similarities in subject, material or presentation.

Before you go

Check the current visiting schedule and any changes. According to the information, last admission is at 16.30; bear this in mind if you arrive later in the afternoon.
