Museum Geelvinck-Hinlopen

Museum Geelvinck was situated from its opening 1991 till the end of 2015 in a canal-side mansion, the Geelvinck Hinlopen Huis in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This patrician mansion, close to the Rembrandtplein, was built for Albert Geelvinck (1647–1693) and Sara Hinlopen (1660–1749), then in an attra

ctive and new laid-out section of the city towards the Amstel. In the year 1687 the couple moved into this double wide canal house on the Herengracht 518, with storage rooms in the cellar, under the attic and in the warehouse on the Keizersgracht 633, now the museum entrance. The canal mansion 'Geelvinck Hinlopen Huis' is now closed for the public, because the museum (including the rosarium) has moved to new premises. In Spring 2017 the museum opened its new premises in the historic mansion 'De Wildeman' in Zutphen, but had to close down already by the end of 2019. Today, Museum Geelvinck is located at the country estate 'Kolthoorn House' in Heerde, and also has a modest venue at the 'Posthoornkerk' in Amsterdam.
