"This is the house that Rembrandt bought, flush with success, for 13,000 guilders (a princely sum) in 1639, and where he lived and worked until 1656 when declared bankrupt."

Frommer's
"In this house (ca. 1606), you get a more intimate sense of Rembrandt -- it's a shrine to one of the greatest artists the world has ever known."

Don't miss the Zoology Museum (Zoölogisch Museum), Geology Museum (Geologisch Museum) or the planetarium either.

"If you're at a loss for what to do with the kids, Artis is a safe bet -- more than a million visitors a year agree."
