Kunstmuseum: art and architecture
As ambassadors of cultural richness in The Hague, we are delighted to unveil the captivating world of the Kunstmuseum. Situated near the Scheveningen beach in the royal city of Den Haag, this esteemed institution welcomes art enthusiasts, families, and neighbors alike to indulge in a vibrant tapestry of artistic expression.
A celebration of inclusion
At the Kunstmuseum, our doors are wide open to all, with a special invitation extended to the residents of Den Haag. Our commitment to community engagement shines through initiatives like Stad naar het Museum, offering free Museumavonden complete with complimentary bus transportation for local residents. Families, friends, and neighbors can come together for an evening of exploration, featuring guided tours, workshops, and musical performances. Prior to the Museumavonden, free lectures and workshops are hosted in neighborhood centers and libraries, enriching the cultural experience for all.
Step into the Kunstmuseum and embark on a journey through artistic wonders. Be enchanted by Universum Max Beckmann, immerse yourself in the works of the Haagse School painters, or marvel at Mondriaan & De Stijl. Join a guided tour, attend a lecture, or partake in a creative workshop. And for those seeking a moment of relaxation, the Tuinzaal offers a cozy retreat with coffee, tea, refreshments, and live entertainment—all complimentary.
A tribute to Mondriaan
The Kunstmuseum boasts the largest collection of Mondriaan paintings in the world, including the iconic "Victory Boogie Woogie," his final masterpiece. Situated in the renowned architectural marvel designed by H.P. Berlage, the museum's eclectic collection also features exquisite silverware, meticulously crafted Delfts Blauw, and interactive Wonderkamers.
Architectural splendor
Designed as an invitation rather than an intimidation, the Kunstmuseum's architecture by H.P. Berlage stands as a testament to modern design. With a façade of ordinary brick and an interior adorned with colorful tiles and bronze accents, Berlage's vision was to create a welcoming space where visitors could immerse themselves in art. Today, the museum is celebrated as a pinnacle of modern architecture, offering a visually stunning backdrop for artistic exploration.
