Just fantastic! I've always been quite a fan but the museum takes things to another level of understanding. So many great works of art, this is a great treat.

Just an astonishing collection! I was expecting just art but there's so much more here too such as a HUGe library as well as the stern of a huge boat as well!!

Undoubtedly the highlight of my holiday to Amsterdam. So many paintings I couldn't quite believe he was so prolific! Great to see the context of his work amongst his contemporaries, and how he influenced the styles of the era, and was influenced too.

It's beind renovated at the moment meaning that only a small part of the collection is accessible, which we thought would mean a reduced entrance fee but that wasn't the case. That being said what we did see was very impressive, including Rembrandt's Night Watch which hasn't left the main building since it arrived in 1885!

A totally charming house, the three storeys of the artist's house contain a diverse and lovely group of things, including paintings and portraits as well as things he collected like turtle shells, and oddly some findings from the former cess pool outside the house!! Really provides an excellent insight into Rembrandt's life.
