Experience a private tour of the Rembrandt House in Amsterdam, where you will immerse yourself in the world of the great Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. The house has been carefully reconstructed to offer an authentic glimpse into Rembrandt’s life as an artist, teacher, and art dealer. As you walk through the rooms where he lived and worked, including his reconstructed studio, you’ll discover how Rembrandt revolutionized painting by focusing on emotions and atmosphere— with a style that was far ahead of its time.
The tour also includes one of the largest collections of Rembrandt etchings in the world, showcasing his innovative use of drypoint and etching techniques. His house served not only as a workspace but also as a teaching place for his students, who studied with exotic objects from Rembrandt’s personal collection—items that he both used in his works and displayed to impress visitors.
After exploring the house, you will enjoy a brief architectural walk through the neighborhood, providing deeper insight into Rembrandt’s life in 17th-century Amsterdam and helping you form a closer connection to the city that shaped him.
The total duration is approximately 1.5 hours: The tour of the house lasts about 1 hour, followed by a 30-minute walk through the surrounding area. A tour of just the house is, of course, also possible. This tour can also be booked as a 90-minute virtual tour.
You can book this tour for a duration of 1.5 hours or, if desired, extend it to 2 hours.
