The best way to visit the Rietveld Schröder House is on a specially designed Rietveld-bicycle, which you can rent at the ticket desk of the Central Museum. You won’t believe your eyes in the only house that has ever been erected according to the principles of Neoplasticism. You'll find yourself face to face with basic colours such as red, blue and yellow, typical of De Stijl (The Style), combined with white, grey and black. According to Gerrit Rietveld and Truus Schröder, who commissioned the house, man has to take an active approach in life and this is why every activity in the house requires a certain prior action. By folding open a wall you gain access to the bathroom and by shifting other walls you screen off the sleeping areas. We recommend you reserve a tour in advance as the house supports only a limited number of visitors.
