L	Lily Yanakieva on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small and beautiful museum showing how a family history has mixed with the city one.
L	Leoqal Leoqal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The old woman at the front desk is seriously rude. I would be cautious of taking photographs in the house/garden as she will scream at you. She even made comments about my partner’s appearance insisting that the van Loon family would be sickened by her… it’s the 21st century and couldn’t care less if some stiff upper lipped family or their ancient receptionist had any opinion of us. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was racially provoked. Honestly ruined the experience by her unprovoked comments. Guess jealousy stings. The house and garden itself is really nice (although there is scaffolding and construction in the garden which slightly ruined it). However beware that the van Loon family profited massively from slavery and colonialism and some of the exhibitions attempted to justify it. Also, the entry is quite steep.
H	Hervé M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing moment back in time in this somptuous typical canal house. No need for a guided tour if you are not interested deeply into the family history, you can see how this rich aristocrat were living. The garden is also beautiful, and you can even see how the family got so rich as so many others thanks to an additional exhibition on slavery in another building at the back of the garden. It was worth it just to satisfy my curiosity on what were those canal houses hiding.

M	Milan Radulovic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Must visit in Amsterdam. Great peace of history, tradition and luxury. Nice way to get in touch with the rich and famous family Van Loon.
K	Katerina V on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful place with a garden and a historical collection of divine paintings and artworks??? ? Didn't have a chance to "indulge" in historical excurse, but could enjoy a cup of coffee and an amazing courtyard during my mindful break ?‍♀️. Was lucky enough to become a spy and witness preparations + a general rehearsal?( I do believe so!) before the final Saturday try-out & Sunday premiere of the opera Va Pensiero: The Euphrates and her Stories. Promised to return for more enlightment, a pop-up dinner, debate, and positive vibes! ? Definitely worth stopping over and coming back! ?
R	Robin Irwin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Obama should have gone to Willet-Holthuysen Museum instead of this house. The museum lacks character and information. Though the house is beautiful, it is mainly decorated with portraits of the family. The rooms and gardens are frequently rented for events and meetings which makes me wonder what their business model is. I compare this museum with the Willet-Holthuysen Museum (which is closeby) because it also showcases a mansion from the 18th century. The Willet-Holthuysen Museum museum has a free and highly detailed audio tour with many interesting historical facts and trivia that make for an immersive experience.... along with beautiful art that isn't focused on portraits. The Van Loon has a small booklet with a few facts. If you don't have a museum card, It feels that at Willet-Holthuysen Museum you get more bang for your buck..... Museum Van Loon runs a distant second in my opinion.
A	Alexander M. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a beautiful museum. Well worth visiting Museum Van Loon to see how the upper class of Amsterdam used to live. You can learn more about this prominent family and the house itself with the printed guide and Dutch/English material in each room. The courtyard behind the house is amazing and makes the visit even better! You should come tour this museum!
