Horse pee, parsnips and paint brushes

Rembrandt van Rijn grew up in exciting times in Leiden. Leiden had fought in the war against the Spanish and been liberated, after which the city entered into a period of rapid growth. Rembrandt lived in Leiden for 26 years.

Of course much has changed since then, but if you were to bump into Rembrandt on the streets of Leiden today, he would still be able to find his way around. Some places look almost the same as they did in Rembrandt's day. Not bad after 400 years! Some things were very different back then, but many things have not changed. Find out exactly what during this fascinating city walk!
