Museum Van Loon

The museum is named after the Van Lun family, who owned the mansion since the end of the 19th century. The house was built in 1672 by the architect Adriaan Dortsman for the merchant Jeremiah van Rey. The first tenant of the building was the artist Ferdinand Bol, a student of Rembrandt. Having changed a number of owners, in 1884 the house was bought by Hendrick Van Lun. The last representative of the Moritz Van Lun family in 1960 opened a museum in a part of the building.
