The Cromhouthuis is a collectors’ house: it tells the story of the Cromhout family and is today home to some extraordinary Amsterdam collections.

Collections, top quality and art are inseparably linked to the Cromhouthuis. The rich and illustrious Cromhout family, who lived in the canal houses at Herengracht 368 in the seventeenth and eighteenth century, were great art lovers and collectors. Enjoying their costly possessions with family and friends was an important part of their social life. Portraits, furnishings, silver, seashells and other curiosities form an astonishing feast for the eyes in the Cromhouthuis.

Visit: Cromhout House, Herengracht 366-368, 1016 CH Amsterdam The Netherlands

In one of Amsterdam's most beautiful canal houses, the Cromhouthuis, you meet six extraordinary collectors. Over the years, they or their descendants have donated their diverse collections to the city of Amsterdam.

The Cromhout House is the House of collectors. Walking through the building you will hear the story behind the various collectors via an audio tour. Their stories, full of ups and downs, and their influence on the city are told and watched by the visitor in a spectacular setting.

The Cromhout family, who lived here for almost two hundred years, formed the basis of what we now consider to be World Heritage: the Canal Belt! They were also important art collectors. The Cromhout House is therefore the ideal place to show the special visual ensemble of collections of works of art, furniture, silver and paintings.
