Museum Van Loon is the residence of Amsterdam's Van Loon family. Willem van Loon was one of the founders of the Dutch East India Company (the V.O.C.) The museum is housed in a double canal house that dates back to 1672. Most of the interior has remained intact throughout the centuries.
Changing residents
The first resident of the house was Ferdinand Bol, Rembrandt's famous pupil. Around 1750 the interior was completely rebuilt and embellished in the Rococo style. In 1884 the house was bought as a wedding present for the Honourable Willem van Loon and his wife. The house was opened to the public in 1973.
Belle bel-etage
The most interesting part of the house is the bel-etage. The great hall has an impressive balustrade dating from around 1760. The portraits on the walls depict members of the Van Loon family from 1600 to the present. The garden room offers a good view of the garden and the impressive façade of the coach house.
