Rembrandthouse
Rembrandt is everywhere. Alle over the world, in the Rijksmuseum (in Amsterdam) and of course in the Rembrandthouse itself. Why this is called the Rembrandthouse? Well, because the man himself used to live here! This was his house where he painted a lot of his paintings. He also had a few students in his house that he learned to paint. If you visit his house you’ll see the exact table where he sat on! It’s a very special experience.
