There's just no place like home

Museum het Rembrandthuis

Why I love this place? Well, Rembrandt is one of my favourite artists of all time, and while I appretiate his painting, his etchings are the ones that captivate my heart. Experimenting with technique, he manages to create soul in black, white and a hundred shades of grey. What life is all about.

But most of all, the Rembrandt House is my house. I was blessed with the opportunity of working there as an intern for 3 months almos three years ago and I learnt so much. From the people, the space, the art. Everyone was kind and took time to teach me.

And they are a wonderful museum. Small, but full of life in that house refurbished like it was when Rembrandt lived there. The beautiful studio full of light. The new wing and the exhibition rooms with his etchings and these great temporary exhibitions. Great ideas of how to keep a museum updated, at the verge of things and adapted to change.

For me, it's my home. And there's just no place like it.
