Last week I was in Amsterdam for work. Not far from the place of my appointment is the house-Holthuysen Willet, who wanted to visit the museum for a long time. This is a beautiful canal house, donated to the municipality by the family-Holthuysen Willet. The interiors of the 'house were dated 1700, and all' was like when you lived in the rich coal merchant Stones Holthuysen Gerard and his daughter Sandrina Louisa Geertruida.

During his visit to Italy stay 'a few days in Genoa, where I visit' the old town, as we read in the pages of his diary.

Albert also loved the 'art, so much to give up his profession and devote himself full time to search for specific items and pieces sought. Once a week Albert invited artists and architects in Amsterdam as a cultural salon, everyone could share the latest discoveries and artistic movements of the time.

Abert and Sandrina, without heirs donated the house to the municipality of Amsterdam, with the obligation 'but' of a museum open to the public. A museum not to miss the next time you're in Holland!
