This is the only canal house in Amsterdam where it is possible to view the house, garden and coach house in their entirety. The museum is an absolute must for anyone who is interested in the history of the “Golden Age of the Netherlands” and the cultural heritage of the Dutch elites. Built in 1672 by classic Dutch architect Adriaen Dortsman, the first inhabitant was Ferdinand Bol, who studied painting under Rembrandt.
