Rembrandthuis shows the work before the masterpiece

In Rembrandt’s former home and studio, furnished rooms, demonstrations and temporary exhibitions connect his daily working practice with his art.

Plan your visit ↗

Studio light and workspace

Look at the direction of the windows, the easel and where the models were placed. Ask which furnishings have been reconstructed from inventories and which objects date from Rembrandt’s time but did not belong to him.

Etching step by step

During demonstrations, plate, ink and press become visible in relation to each other. Follow one print from scratch to paper and note where mirror image and press printing determine the result.

Pigment becomes paint

A paint demonstration shows how raw material and binder together form a painting material. Compare the colour before and after mixing without attributing a specific use to Rembrandt without a source.

Before you go

Daily from 10.00; in 2026 closing time varies between 17.00 and 18.00 and separate Christmas hours apply. Book a time slot.
