During the Christmas holidays, there is plenty to do at Rembrandt’s home! Go on the new multimedia tour with Rembrandt’s dog, Kwast. And paint and etch at Rembrandt’s home!
An adventure with Rembrandt’s dog Kwast
In the free Multimediatour, children together with their parents/guardians go on a quest through the museum to help Rembrandt create his greatest painting ever. They will be helped on this quest by Kwast, Rembrandt’s dog. Kwast is a bit of a naughty dog because actually he has to stay outside in the courtyard, but sometimes one of the maids lets him in and he can sniff around the house. An ideal tour guide and sleuth, then!
Times: daily during opening hours
Age: children aged 6 to 12, parents
Price: free, available at the audio desk
How did Rembrandt make his paint and etchings?
There is a free painting or etching demonstration every day in the museum. In Rembrandt’s studio you will discover how he made his paint and what supplies he used for it – from poisonous lead and bright red lice, to scented linseed oil and even pig’s bladders! Get to work yourself: mix paint on the paint stone and create something beautiful on a canvas. In the etching attic you can see step by step how Rembrandt made his etchings. Extra special: one of his etchings shows Kwast! And everyone gets a print to take home.
Times: Between 10:30 AM and 3:30 PM
Reservations for the multimedia tour or demonstrations are not necessary.
