Fodor's "This remarkable light-infused building ... venerates the short, certainly not sweet, but highly productive career of everyone's favorite tortured 19th-century artist." Full review
Concierge "The world's premier venue for works by tragically talented Van Gogh."
Frommer's "More than 200 paintings by Vincent van Gogh (1853-90), along with nearly every sketch, print, etching, and piece of correspondence the artist ever produced." Full review

Let's Go "We think this may be the best museum in Amsterdam—unfortunately, so do a lot of other people. The lines can get pretty painful; to avoid them, reserve tickets on the museum’s website." Full review

Fodor's "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." Full review
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." Full review

"You almost expect to find the master himself at the Museum het Rembrandthuis , where Rembrandt van Rijn ran the Netherlands’ largest painting studio." Full review

Time Out "When he was declared bankrupt, clerks inventoried the house room by room; it's these records that provided the renovators with clues as to what the house looked like in Rembrandt's time." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "No oil paintings on display—go to the Rijksmuseum if that's what you're after—but plenty of his groundbreaking etchings." Full review
Let's Go "Now visitors can see where Rembrandt slept, entertained guests, made paintings, sold paintings, and got attacked by his mistress after a fight over alimony (that would be the kitchen). " Full review
Travel + Leisure "The artist Rembrandt lived in this house towards the end of his life, from 1639 until 1656, when bankruptcy forced him to sell all his possessions at auction." Full review
Michelin Guide 2 Stars
"Situated in the heart of the old Jewish quarter, this house with its triangular pediment dated 1630 was Rembrandt's home from 1639 to 1659, and it was here that most of his masterpieces were created." Full review
goop "The Rembrandt House Museum is a nice departure from Amsterdam’s more conventional museums and the long lines you’ll face at nearly every one." Full review
Frommer's "The layout is typical of the 17th century...Rembrandt's hallway served as his gallery, with his dealing room off this, and the family's living quarters are hung with his masterful oil paintings." Full review
