Museum Rembrandthuis: an artist at his own address
In the Amsterdam house where Rembrandt lived, reconstructed rooms and his graphic work come together. During the autumn holiday there is also a temporary programme.
Museum Rembrandthuis stands on the Jodenbreestraat in Amsterdam, in the house where Rembrandt lived and worked. According to the museum, he moved into number 4 in 1639, after coming to Amsterdam from Leiden in 1631. Nineteen years later he had to leave the house.
The living quarters and the studio are part of the museum visit. The museum calls it the only place where visitors can experience how Rembrandt once lived. The historic address links his living and working history.
By its own account, the institution holds one of the largest collections of Rembrandt prints in the world, with drawings and almost all the etchings. These works are shown in rotation. The selection in the rooms can therefore differ from visit to visit.
The works the museum writes about include Christ Preaching, known as the Hundred Guilder Print, and Self-Portrait with Saskia from 1636. The collection page dates the Hundred Guilder Print to around 1648 and notes that high sums were already paid for it during Rembrandt's lifetime.
From 11 to 25 October 2026, autumn holiday activities are on the agenda. The museum mentions etching and an adventure with Rembrandt's little dog Kwast, among other things. According to its own site, there are also painting and etching demonstrations in the studio.
The museum homepage states that two paintings by Rembrandt are on view in the treasure room. The presentation thus includes both the rooms of the house and original works and demonstrations of techniques.
Museum Rembrandthuis is at Jodenbreestraat 4. According to the visit page, from 11 May to 1 November it is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00. An adult pays €23.50, young people up to and including age 25 pay €15 and children aged six to seventeen pay €8.
