Rembrandts Amsterdam Experience
Weteringschans 2, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1017
Offering a uniquely immersive and innovative way to experience Rembrandt’s art, the Rembrandts Amsterdam Experience invites visitors to step back in time to 1663, where they’ll tour a multimedia recreation of the artist’s last studio. Complete with video projections and multi-dimensional special effects, the experience brings 17th-century Amsterdam to life, and makes Rembrandt’s work and story widely accessible.
The basics
More dynamic and attention-grabbing than a traditional museum experience, the Rembrandts Amsterdam Experience is ideal for visiting families (and anyone else looking for an immersive art experience). Located in the heart of the city, it’s easy to fit into a full day of sightseeing. While tickets can be purchased on the door, it’s worth securing yours in advance to guarantee entry (and to take advantage of package deals, which include other Amsterdam experiences).
The experience—which is narrated by characters including Rembrandt, as well as members of his family—starts every 10 minutes, and lasts roughly half an hour, so younger visitors should remain entertained throughout. You can also upgrade for the VIP experience, which includes a custom photo experience and a treat at the end.
