Museum Het Rembrandthuis is the house where Rembrandt van Rijn lived twenty years of his life, until he was declared bankrupt. The museum is now home to a collection of 250 of Rembrandt's etchings. The new wing houses temporary exhibitions. The house itself it also worth a closer look. The exterior has little changed since Rembrandt's days. The interior looks exactly the way it did when Rembrandt lived here. When he was evicted after bankruptcy, stock was taken of his possessions. That's why we know what possessions he had and what the interior of his house looked like. All four floors have been refurbished. There is his box bed, his studio where most of the artist's works were produced and where he taught and inspired young promision painters. His painting tools, his brushes, it seems as if the master is still there.
