The Rembrandt Museum is amongst Amsterdam’s top museums. The museum
contains nearly a complete set of Rembrandt’s original prints.
Rembrandt’s printing press is also on exhibit. The museum
itself is located within a charming three-story building that consequently
was Rembrandt van Rijn’s former residence. When Rembrandt
moved into the house he was a successful artist. Ironically, the
house that now shows many of Rembrandt’s works eventually
led to the artist’s financial downfall. The three-story house
proved to be a bad investment for the artist. As a result, Rembrandt
was forced to sell off many of his personal belongings, including
his paintings, to pay off his debt.
The museum showcases Rembrandt’s detail and unique use of
light and shadow. The Rembrandt museum is a masterpiece within itself.
