A small, concentrated museum on Jodenbreestraat: the reconstructed studio, the pigment cabinet and a near-complete run of the etchings.
This is the counterweight to the Rijksmuseum. Instead of finished masterpieces behind glass you get the workshop that produced them, down to the grinding slab and the printing press. Etching demonstrations run through the day and are the reason to linger. It sits five minutes from Waterlooplein, so it slots neatly into a Jewish Quarter morning.
Highlights
- Reconstructed studio
- Etching demonstrations
- Compact and rarely overrun
Insider tips
- →Pair it with Waterlooplein rather than with another large museum.
- →The etching demonstration is the part most visitors remember.
