Does my ticket include access to all parts of the museum, including any special exhibitions?

Yes. Standard admission tickets include access to the permanent collection (the historic house and the etching galleries) as well as any temporary exhibitions running during your visit. There are typically no additional fees for temporary exhibitions.

Can I re-enter using the same ticket?

No. Like most museums with timed entry systems, the Rembrandt House Museum operates on a single-entry policy per ticket. Once you exit, your time slot is considered used. If you want to leave and return, you would typically need to purchase a new ticket and reserve a new time slot.

What kind of 'authentic' items am I truly seeing in the recreated house, versus reproductions or items from the period?

The museum has gone to great lengths to recreate the house based on historical inventories. While the specific furniture and many household items are authentic 17th-century pieces (not original to Rembrandt's direct ownership, as his possessions were sold in bankruptcy), they are of the type and style he would have owned. The etchings on display are, however, original Rembrandt etchings.

What artworks can I see at the museum that are not by Rembrandt?

The do-not-miss artworks by pre-Rembrandtists at the Rembrandt House Museum are *The Crucifixion*, *The Triumph of Mordecai*, *The Lamentation of Abel*, *The Sacrifice of Abraham*, all by Pieter Lastman, and *The Expulsion of Hagar* by Jan Pynas.

I want to participate in the painting or etching demonstrations. Do these require a separate ticket or booking?

No, these daily demonstrations are included in your standard admission ticket. You don't need a separate booking for them.

When are the painting demonstrations held at the museum?

Paintings and etching demonstrations are conducted every day from 11am to 3pm.

What is the best time to visit the Rembrandt House Museum?

The best months to visit the Rembrandt House Museum are from March to May and September to November. The weather is mellow, and there are fewer crowds.

What is the best way to reach the Rembrandt House Museum?

The best way to reach the Rembrandt House Museum is by public transportation. Metro lines 51, 53, and 54, tram line 14, and the Intercity or Sprinter are the easiest ways to get to the museum.

Are there guided tours available in the Rembrandt House Museum?

Currently, the Rembrandt House Museum has multimedia guides in Dutch, English, German, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hebrew, Modern Standard Arabic, and Turkish. There is also a multimedia guide in Dutch and English, specifically for families with children.
