The project to expand and renovate the Panorama Mesdag musuem in The Hague will start after the summer.
The museum will get an additional exhibition space and museum café. Panorama Mesdag will also open a museum shop on the Zeestraat side.
The construction work will cost approximately € 6 to 7 million. In recent months the roof and foundation have been successfully reinforced. The roof and foundation were sinking due to the construction of a hotel parking garage next to the museum. This posed a threat to the gigantic panorama of Scheveningen which was painted by Hendrik Willem Mesdag at the end of the 19th century.
The museum will remain open seven days a week during the construction project.
