Latin School
Rembrandt was ten years old when he went to the Latin School, which he attended from 1616 to 1620. The forerunner of today’s grammar school, the Latin School provided preparatory training for university. Conversations and lessons were held exclusively in Latin. It was here that Rembrandt also first learned to sketch. He studied drawing with Henricus Rieverlinck, his first art teacher.
The Latin School
It's no longer possible to have Rembrandt sketch you at the Latin School. This experience is closed, but don't worry. Starting in the spring of 2026, a new Rembrandt Experience will open, with a new approach and interactive elements. Visitors can once again immerse themselves in the life and work of the young master—in a surprisingly contemporary way.
The Young Rembrandt School is one of the stops on the Rembrandt Route and is located at Lokhorststraat 16 in Leiden.
