The Birthplace of Rembrandt in Leiden

A 3D virtual reconstruction of the house where Rembrandt van Rijn was born in 1606 in Leiden, the Netherlands. In commemoration of the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt's death in 2019, the tourism and marketing department of Leiden collaborated with Erfgoed Leiden, the regional heritage department, to create a 3D mofel. As the original birthplace of the renowned painter no longer exists, and the surrounding area has changed significantly over time, this project involved a multidisciplinary approach, involving archivists, building archaeologists, and a 3D artist. Through meticulous historical research, reliable data was collected, evaluated for accuracy, and categorized using a reliability matrix. The project culminated in the creation of a comprehensive virtual reconstruction, capturing the essence of Rembrandt's early years in Leiden.
