In 1895 Mrs Willet-Holthuysen left this 17th century canal house to the city of Amsterdam, together with all that stood in it, including the art collection of her late husband. The house has been turned into a beautiful museum that keeps alive the name of her family. On the first floor you find a magnificent ballroom, a dining room looking out over the garden, and an imposing corridor. In other rooms furnishings have been brought from comparable 18th- and 19th-century canal houses, to recreate the atmosphere of bygone times. In the basement are the kitchen and scullery, suggesting what life must have been like for the servants.
How did the wealthy live in an Amsterdam canal house? You can find out all about in the Willet-Holthuysen Museum. |
