The Rembrandt house – Amsterdam
The Rembrandt House Museum is the place where one of the most important artists of all time lived, painted and surprised his contemporaries: Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.
Master of pictorial technique, drawing and engraving, Rembrandt bought this house in 1639 when he was a successful artist. In 1656 he lost it and went bankrupt because he was drowning in debt, so all the valuables in the house ended up being auctioned off. Today the Rembrandt House is fully restored to its 17th-century appearance, with its traditional furnishings and walls decorated with paintings by other artists of the time.
The most important part of the house is the room where he painted his masterpieces. In addition to this room, you can also visit the kitchen, some rooms and an art room where the objects he used as models for his paintings and those of his students are collected, such as plaster figures, strange animals or conch shells.
Design Museum – London
The new Design Museum in London, moved to Kensington and located in the former headquarters of the Commonwealth, became in just a year (2017-2018), a world reference in this discipline. And it is that the building itself, re-designed by the architect John Pawson, is a jewel of architectural design, a large space of 10,000 m2 that has maintained the essence of this modernist construction of the 60s by preserving the unique parabolic roof of the building.
The Design Museum is the most important in the United Kingdom dedicated to design in all its disciplines: architecture, graphic, textile, industrial and interior design. Since it opened in 1989, it has displayed everything from an AK-47 to Christian Louboutin-designed heels. It has presented more than 100 exhibitions, has welcomed more than five million visitors and has presented the work of some of the most celebrated designers and architects in the world such as Paul Smith, Zaha Hadid, Jonathan Ive, Miuccia Prada, Frank Gehry, Eileen Gray or Dieter Rams.
Kafka Museum – Prague
The Kafka Museum is dedicated to the life and work of the Czech writer and has a setting that regular readers of the writer will find quite familiar. The organization within the museum covers Kafka’s entire life from his childhood to his last days, emphasizing his work, but also his private life, especially in the writer’s relationship with the different women with whom he had relationships during his life.
The museum is divided into two main sectors:
The first room, where the influence that Prague exerted on the writer is explained and how it influenced his personal development and also his work, which he endowed with that magical and slightly dark atmosphere so typical of the city and so typical of Kafka. In the second room, Imaginary Topography, all those sites mentioned in Kafka’s work that seem to refer to Prague are studied, but that the author never clearly identified with real places, so interpretation is free here.
