What was Rembrandt’s life like? Where did Holland’s most renowned artist etch and paint his masterpieces? Where did the most dramatic events of his life take place? Rembrandt bought the house on the Jodenbreestraat in 1639, when he was at the height of his fame. In 1656 he went bankrupt because he could not pay his debts. Everything of value in his house was sold at auction, including a large collection of art and rare objects. A notary drew up a list of his possessions. This is why we know how the house was furnished in Rembrandt’s time. The historic interior of Rembrandt’s house was restored to its former glory and furnished with items and works of art from the master’s time. Wandering through the seventeenth-century rooms, visitors can imagine themselves back in Rembrandt’s day. If you want to find out about the real Rembrandt, you can meet him in the Rembrandt House. A selection of Rembrandt’s etchings is permanently on show at the museum.
