Museum van Loon

The Museum Van Loon is situated at the Keizergracht 672 in the old city centre of Amsterdam. The double-sized canal house dates from 1672. The first resident was Ferdinand Bol, one of Rembrandt’s most famous pupils.

In the nineteenth century, the Van Loon family came to live in the house. The family's history is closely intertwined with that of Amsterdam. Several Van Loons held important positions as city-mayors. Others, such as Willem van Loon, fulfilled decisive functions in the Dutch East-India Company. The last resident of the house, before it became a museum, was Thora van Loon - Egidius. She was Dame du Palais of Queen Wilhelmina for forty years, and as such invited important royal guest to the house. Throughout time, the interior and exterior have remained practically intact.

The Museum offers you the possibily to host a dinner, reception or walking dinner in the dining room. There are two identical rooms which both seat 45-50 people. The house holds 90 people for receptions or walking dinners. There is a beautiful garden for pre-dinner drinks until 9pm.
