Full description

Enter Amsterdam's Museum Willet-Holthuysen and take a tour through its exhibition. The museum lies in a grand 17th-century double canal house. In 1895 Mrs. Willet left her opulent house to the city of Amsterdam, including the impressive art collection of her deceased husband Abraham. Walk around the museum and discover his collection which consists of antique furniture, silver, ceramics, sculptures, paintings, and photographs. Start on the 1st floor and walk through the impressive ballroom done in Louis XVI style. Continue on towards the dining room and the salons of the lord and lady of the house. The garden and the gallery will give you an impression of how the wealthy Willets lived while the kitchen and pantry in the basement will clue you in on the daily lives of the servants. Finally, learn how this green oasis in the heart of Amsterdam was laid out in 18th-century French style and how they managed to fill it with historic trees and plants.

Ein toller Eindruck eines großbürgerlichen Haushaltes im goldenen Zeitalter der Niederlande! Es waren nur wenige Besucher gleichzeitig mit mir da, so dass ich die meiste Zeit alleine in den Räumlichkeiten war. Angeregt durch den Audiguid war ich in der Phantasie zu Gast bei Familie Willet und stellte mir die Zimmer mit Bewohnern und Gästen vor. Ich habe viel über die Gesellschaft dieser Zeit erfahren. Sehr beeindruckend. Man darf auch alles mit dem Handy fotografieren.

Ich mag es, hinter die Kulissen zu schauen. Schön, das dieses Wohn- und Erlebnishaus der Stadt Amsterdam geschenkt wurde. Wir hatten so viel Freude am Entdecken. Einmal dieses Leben nachempfinden...und dann schnell wieder zurück in die Gegenwart, denn trotz allem Reichtum waren die Frauen nicht frei. Heute sind wir es. Gut so.

A fascinating museum and a brilliant gem in the heart of Amsterdam! Walking through the home was a fascinating insight into the history of the home and family. The audio guide was especially insightful and a great way to be guided through the home. The art exhibition that was on display was also exceptional and really well designed. I really love that the home combines history with modern displays - it is a great use of the space and the two felt really well connected despite the differences in style. I'll definitely visit again when we are next in Amsterdam to see the newest temporary exhibition - what a great way to keep people coming back again and again!
