Abraham Bredius (1855-1946), art historian and former director of the Mauritshuis, bequeathed his collection of paintings to the city. Occupying a fine mansion built in 1757, the museum is named after him and displays part of the collection. Among a series of 17C works you can admire Jan Steens's The Satyr and the Peasants, a Head of Christ by Rembrandt, and the Entertainment on the Ice by A. van der Neer, as well as works by A. Cuyp, A. van Ostade and W. P. Buytewech.
