Willet-Holthuysen Museum is temporarily closed due to maintenance untill February 1st, 2021.
The Willet-Holthuysen Museum in Amsterdam had an interesting start. In 1895 Mrs. Willet-Holthuysen bequeathed her 17th-century canal house to the City of Amsterdam in her will, on the condition that it would be preserved and opened to the public as a museum. Her wish has been faithfully observed for over a century – the house has been turned into a beautiful museum.

Bygone era
The kitchen is in the basement and gives a good idea of what life must have been like for the servants. At the back of the building the garden is laid out in early 18th-century French fashion, transporting you back in time. The museum houses a remarkable collection of Golden Age art and silverware.
