Cromhout House

About

In one of the most beautiful canal houses of Amsterdam, the Cromhout House, you will meet a number of notable collectors. Over the years they have donated their diverse collections to the city of Amsterdam. The Cromhouthuis is the house of collectors. Wandering through the different rooms, an audio tour tells you the story of influential collectors such as Dreesmann, Backer and Lopez Suasso. Their stories, passion for collecting and peculiarities are told to the visitor in a spectacular setting. The Cromhout family, who lived here for almost two centuries, formed the core of what we now consider World Heritage: the canal belt! They were also prominent art collectors. The Cromhouthuis thus is the place par excellence to bring the unique visual whole of collections of art objects, furniture, silver and paintings to life.
