Very informative with varied and interesting audio tour.
Pros: audio tour included in entry; very friendly and helpful staff; free locker and cloak room; well preserved rooms show intimate life of Rembrandt; exhibit pieces together logically and smoothly; excellent gift shop with wide price range so there's something for everyone; bonus exhibit of apprentices who progressed to their own work.
Cons: beware there are lots of stairs so may be difficult for some guests.response / report this review -

An interesting museum of the life and work of Rembrandt, housed within the very studio from which he worked centuries ago. Admission price is lower than many of the other major museums in Amsterdam, so well worth the visit if you don't want to fork out an outrageous 17.50 at the Rejksmuseum.

Great place to learn about life in the seventeenth century as well as learn about life for artists in general and Rembrandt in particular. Preservation is excellent. Not as commercialized as Ann Frank’s House.

Rude staff member, but otherwise excellent visit!
When we entered, we asked about the Museum Card, for which entrance is free, and whether a Museum Pass we purchased about one week before our visit included such a perk. The man selling tickets said the Museum Card requires an actual card mailed tons residential address in the Netherlands. Obviously, our Museum Pass is not that. OK. I jokingly commented, "There is so much information for tourists, itgets a bit confusing" to which he replied sarcastically, "Like your president." Well, I was born and raised in CANADA. (True, I am also an American citizen.) But terribly offensive, completely inappropriate he was "going for the jugular" in response to my relatively benign comment about tourist information online.
Anyway, the rest of the visit was delightful, interesting, with friendly staff.response / report this review -

Amsterdam is a city of museums. Some museums are for the name of it, some are giant buildings with a million items that you can't finish seeing in three days.
I highly recommend Rembrandt House as it provides you to understand the world of an artist and the details of an era with workshops and original decor.response / report this review -

Really cool experience, especially for a museum. Google maps showed it was busier than usual, and yet we didn't have to wait in any lines, so that combined with the very reasonable entry fee was the first win. Took a minute to get the hang of the (free) audio guide systemit operates like a remote control you point at a little target on the wall to hear narration for each room/exhibit area. Really cool to hear the history, which I knew none of previously, and to walk through each room meticulously restored to look exactly as they did at the time when Rembrandt was forced to sell the home due to his bankruptcy. Stand in his studio, try the manual paint making process that apprentices did for him on a daily basis, check out his outrageous collection of ancient artifacts from around the world in his "cabinet" room, and admire all kinds of art, while immersing yourself in Rembrandt's life and story. I'm not into traditional art museums at all, and my husband is into them, so this was a great compromise that was cool and interactive enough for me, while still offering enough of the culture and art works my husband enjoys in museums.

Amazing to experience such a master's actual living and working place. Interesting to see the dynamics of what we call a living space and a bedroom, a kitchen and an entrance or receiving hall. Amazing collection of his etching work on the top floor as well as a live demonstration of how the paints were made back in the day.

Good place but you won't spend a lot of time here. The things here are not original except the house itself. The furnishings are made based on Rembrandt's paintings and recreated as close to original as it was thought to be. They do have the easy audio system used by other museums in the city.

This is another must-see in Amsterdam. It is very close to the center and can be done in less than two hours. The art is set in his home so you learn history as well as about his art. Make sure you get the audio tour, which is gratis. It's great! And also stop for the print making demo and learn about pigments in his studio.

This is one of the best museums in Amsterdam. This tour will take you through his home while displaying his artwork and telling his history. A must see for any museum hunters in Amsterdam.

As a life long Rembrandt fan, this was especially great. The staff quarters were interesting (so tiny) the whole set of studios and dedicated space was inspiring. There is a smart parlour for bringing clients, great idea.

Beautiful nice compact place where one can get a glimpse of the Dutch Master's life. Highly recommended to stay for the two live demonstrations, one on each floor, one on printing technique that Rembrandt used and the next on inks/paints. Kudos to the two very passionate and knowledgable speakers. I completely enjoyed myself with their presentations. Not wheelchair or pram friendly, do note.

What a cool museum! Lots of great paintings, and many of the rooms have been designed to look exactly as they might have while Rembrandt lived there. The house is stunning, and includes much of the furniture that Rembrandt would have owned, which was duplicated from sale records. It's such a large house for this area, it really gives you an idea of what merchant houses were like in the 17th century. Definitely worth checking out!

I loved visiting this museum! I am not very knowledgeable about Rembrandt, but I appreciate his work. It was very nice to be in his home and learn about his life and Amsterdam life in general during his time. I especially enjoyed the studio rooms and the display of the types of paint he used. I would recommend checking out one of the workshops while you're there, we saw the printing workshop and I really enjoyed learning about the etching.
