Four spectacular exhibitions in The Rembrandt House Museum
The year 2006 is a very special year for The Rembrandt House Museum. Four hundred years earlier, in 1606, construction work started on this house in Amsterdam in which Rembrandt was to live during his heyday. 1606 Is also the year in which Rembrandt was born. On top of this, it will have been 100 years ago that it was decided to convert this very house into a museum. Ample reasons for a celebration. The Rembrandt House Museum presents four spectacular exhibitions.

Rembrandt and English Etching

This exhibition shows graphical work from the period 1850 - 1930 by British artists whom Rembrandt inspired.
- 17 December 2005 through 12 March 2006

Rembrandt - The Quest of a Genius
After having completed The Nightwatch and losing his wife Saskia, Rembrandt went through a lengthy artistic and personal crisis. This exhibition shows how a searching Rembrandt was to ultimately find new artistic solutions. Numerous of his masterpieces now return to the house where they were made, some after almost four centuries.
- 1 April 2006 - 2 July 2006

Rembrandt the Etcher
Rembrandt was one of the greatest graphical talents of all time. His contemporaries already admired him for his free drawing technique, his dramatic clair obscure and his daring etching experiments. Until today his etchings have been a source of inspiration for various famous artists, such as Goya and Picasso. Rembrandt has made some 290 etchings altogether. Museum The Rembrandt House owns one of the world’s main collections of Rembrandt etchings. This exposition presents this collection in a fully renovated, thematic lay-out.
- 8 July 2006 - 3 September 2006

Uylenburgh & Son. Art and Commerce in Rembrandt's Time
The exhibition ‘Uylenburgh & Son. Art and Commerce in Rembrandt's Time’ shows Rembrandt’s works in a rather unique context. They are not shown solo, but together with works by his competitors. 
It is presented exactly like Uylenburgh showcased Rembrandt’s work in his art store; amidst work of other Dutch, Italian and Flemish masters,.
- 14 September 2006 - 10 December 2006
