Which famous artists’ house in Amsterdam has been converted to an art museum?

For an unforgettable glimpse into history, Rembrandt House is a must-visit. Home to the famous 17th century Dutch artist in 1672, it was converted into a museum in 1911 in order to preserve both his work and example of 17th century Dutch architecture.
