Rembrandt Up Close: A Visit to the Rembrandt House

Art History with Visual Demonstrations

Museum Rembrandthuis / Jaap Vliegenthart

How did Rembrandt work? How were colors made and etch­ings printed? At the Rembrandt House in Amster­dam, art history comes to life in a partic­u­larly vivid way.

A multi­me­dia guide featur­ing sign language and easy-to-read subti­tles makes the visit engag­ing for deaf guests as well. In addi­tion, there are daily visual demon­stra­tions show­ing, among other things, how colors are mixed and etch­ings are printed.

The modern section of the museum is fully acces­si­ble, featur­ing eleva­tors and appro­pri­ate restrooms. In contrast, the historic orig­i­nal build­ing is only acces­si­ble via steep stairs. However, the main demon­stra­tions and exhibits are located within the acces­si­ble area.

“Good to Know”: The museum is located in the center of Amster­dam, approx­i­mately a 45-minute drive from Egmond.
