Museum Van Loon

Why go

Visit for the scale and detail of a wealthy canal-house interior rather than a broad city collection. Built in 1672 and once home to painter Ferdinand Bol, the house preserves paneling, stucco work and rooms arranged to recall eighteenth-century taste.

What to look for

• Painted real doors and convincing false ones create strict symmetry in the bedrooms.
• Wood paneling and stucco work restore the rhythm of an eighteenth-century interior.
• The house was once occupied by Rembrandt pupil Ferdinand Bol.

Useful to know

• Move slowly through the rooms and compare doorways, wall panels and sightlines; symmetry is part of the display.
• Pair the house with a Keizersgracht walk to place its formal interior in the canal belt.
