The Gemeentemuseum Den Haag is world-renowned. You can visit a fabulous collection of modern art and dozens of exhibitions every year in a sensational building designed by the Dutch architect H.P. Berlage.
The museum is best known for its collection of paintings and drawings by Piet Mondrian. In honour of the most famous Dutch painter of the 20th century, an entire section of the museum is permanently devoted to his early works as well as his last work, the sparkling ‘Victory Boogie Woogie’.
The Gemeentemuseum is one of the most important museums in the world for modern art. The museum's permanent collection contains not only works by Mondrian, but also works by Picasso, Appel and Klee as well as the Dutch landscapes of the Hague School paintings. In addition, the Gemeentemuseum organises dozens of top-notch expositions each year on modern art, decorative art and fashion.
You'll find the ‘Treasure Rooms’ on the ground floor, containing highlights from the various museum collections such as paintings by Picasso, Kandinsky, Toorop, Willink and Appel and the fantastic dollhouse from 1743. In the basement there is a special permanent exhibition for children and teenagers called the 'Wonderkamers'.
A reception or dinner in an historic setting surrounded by world famous art? It is possible at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. Easily accessible by public transportation and within walking distance from the World Forum.
The design of the Gemeentemuseum ensures easy access for people in wheelchairs or using rolling walkers. Wheelchairs are also available on loan from the museum foyer. The museum has a lift and this can be used to reach the disabled toilet facilities, situated in the basement.
