The entry and hallway
The kitchen in the basement
The garden with the coach house with a misty sunshine.
In the heart of Amsterdam on the Keizersgracht stands the house of the Amsterdam regent family Van Loon. In 1602 Willem van Loon co-founded the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The family has opened their home and the collection to the public. I had never been here before, but now I am retired I have the time to visit all the treasures who are waiting for me.
There was also a great exhibition of a Dutch society portrait painter Therese Schwartze, a kind of Mario Testino of her time. See for more information about the museum here and the painter here
Wooooooooow!

Prachtige photos ! A lovely place that I'll have to visit some day.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a fabulous building. I remember learning about the Dutch East India company at school as it was part of Australia's early history.

This beautiful house has remained in my memory since we visited it some years ago,it's quite a jewel among the city sites of interest I think.
