Museum Van Loon
is situated
in a double
patrician canal
house, which
dates back to
1672, was first
home to one
of Rembrandts
most famous
pupils, Ferdinand
Bol.
During the nineteenth
century the
Van Loon family,
including Willem
Van Loon who
was co-founder
of the Dutch
East-India Company,
came to live
in the house.
Several Van
Loons held important
positions as
city-mayors.
That last resident
who was Dame
du Palais of
Queen Wilhelmina
for forty years,
received here
many royal guests.
In the eighteenth
century the
interior was
embellished
with modish
stucco and marble
paneling. The
central staircase
with its elegant
copper balustrade
is quite impressive.
Throughout time,
the interior
and exterior
have remained
practically
intact. The
museums collection
includes an
array of family
portraits, signed
furniture, silver
and porcelain
silver dating
from the eighteenth
century.
The formal big
garden in French
style integrates
the combination
of garden and
coach house.
