Rembrandt House Museum
Amsterdam · Netherlands · Founded 1911
The seventeenth-century house where Rembrandt lived and worked from 1639 to 1658, restored to its original state.
About Rembrandt House Museum
Rembrandt bought this Jodenbreestraat house in 1639. He went bankrupt in 1656 and the house was sold; it opened as a museum in 1911 and was painstakingly restored to its original state in 1999.
Visitors see Rembrandt's reconstructed studio, his cabinet of curiosities, and a near-complete collection of his etchings.

Preventable blindness, caused by conditions like cataracts and trachoma, affects people of all ages across the world's poorest communities. A small gift — for the cost of a museum ticket — can provide a simple surgery to restore someone's sight and transform their life.
