Lonely Planet review for Museum Willet-Holthuysen

This sumptuous residence, now part of the Amsterdams Historisch Museum, is named after the widow who bequeathed the property to the city in the late 19th century. Highlights include paintings by Jacob de Wit, the place de milieu (centrepiece) that was part of the family’s 275-piece Meissen table service, and the intimate French-style garden with sundial – you can also peek at the garden through the iron fence at the Amstelstraat end. Be sure to borrow the notebook from the front desk, with details that make the house come alive (how meat was roasted and windows were cleaned).
