Step into the historic 17th-century canal house, known as the Willet-Holthuysen Museum, and journey back to the opulent lifestyle of Abraham Willet and Louisa Holthuysen. This private collection, one of the earliest in the Netherlands, remains perfectly preserved from the 19th century. Admire an array of paintings, sculptures, books, photos, ceramics, and even weapons. The house itself is a masterpiece, featuring a stunning Louis XVI style ballroom, a gentlemen's parlor, and a serene French Classical style garden in the heart of Amsterdam. Louisa Holthuysen's final wish was to open the house to the public, a wish that has been honored for over 120 years.
