    (Translated by Google) In January 1639, Rembrandt bought a house on Breestraat Street (now Jodenbreedstraat), which today has become the Rembrandt House Museum. Here you will see the painter's apartments and studio as they were in the 17th century. The house has been furnished and decorated as it was in Rembrandt's time, based on Rembrandt's own drawings as well as the inventory from 1656, when Rembrandt went bankrupt. The Rembrandt House also houses a wonderful permanent exhibition with original prints by this artist. (Original) En enero de 1639, Rembrandt compró una casa en la calle Breestraat (actualmente Jodenbreedstraat), que hoy se ha convertido en la Casa Museo de Rembrandt. Aquí verá los aposentos y el estudio del pintor tal y como eran en el siglo XVII. La casa ha sido amueblada y decorada tal y como era en tiempos de Rembrandt, basándose en los dibujos del propio Rembrandt así como en el inventario de 1656, cuando Rembrandt cayó en la bancarrota. La Casa de Rembrandt también alberga una maravillosa exposición permanente con grabados originales de este artista.

    You can hop in (free of charge when visiting the museum) to have a peek at the library from behind the balcony. Have seen much more impressive libraries, but it will still be 5' of enjoyable book porn.

    The library has a mysterious and quiet charm that makes you wonder if the library at a magic school would be like this. You can only look down from the top, but it actually functions as a library, so those who want to read books can enter from the entrance on the first floor. There are also Japanese art books, and since it's an art museum, there are a lot of art books. Either Dutch or English.

    Beautiful and working library that can be accessed for use and as park of the Rijksmuseum.

    Yes it's very pretty, but less impressive in real life than in the photos. And YOU CAN'T ENTER THERE, you can only take a photo of it! What a desappointment ! However, the site literally says "visitors, students and art historians ALIKE are welcome to use the library to delve deeper intro the Rijksmuseum collection"! It's a lie, students and historians yes, visitors no!!

    It's like a bonus to me when visiting Rijksmuseum. A pity that can't go inside that time.

    Rijk Museum. (I don't know how to pronounce it) Library inside the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It's really pretty.

  • 3/5 Jennifer K. 6 months ago on Google • 30 reviews
    A beautiful library that you can look at from above when you visit the museum. Unfortunately, there is no access for museum visitors and the “balcony” is separated with a glass front. But nice to look at.

    Gorgeous 19th century art books library. Can be seen from the Rijksmuseum. Is actually being used by students and scholars.

  • 5/5 Tommy S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A library like from a fairy tale. You can poke your nose in for a moment from the museum. In any case, that's enough to get a good impression. Definitely worth a look! (Original) Eine Biliothek wie aus dem Märchen. Vom Museum aus kann man kurz die Nase reinstecken. Das reicht auf jedenfall um einen guten Eindruck zu bekommen. Lohne definitiv mal zu schauen!

    (Translated by Google) This library has something unique. It gives enormous peace. It's nice to have seen it once (Original) Deze bibliotheek heeft iets unieks. Het geeft enorme rust. Het is leuk om een keer gezien te hebben

    A door opened from the 2nd floor of the museum offers visitors the opportunity to watch from the balcony. Researchers could work in the library with prior permission.

👍👍 I really liked the library. Beautiful interior, modern, lots of space. Of all the libraries in the world that I have visited, this one is second only to Helsinki. Inside there is a cafe, you can drink coffee.

👍👍 I came to the museum just for the library. Even though there is just one spot where is possible to see the beauty of the library, it was still worth it. The entrance fee is quite expensive but as a library lover, I was satisfied. The whole museum looks gorgeous but still, the library is my top one....
