  • Even just grabbing a coffee in their cafeteria is worth it

  • Hanging in the ceiling are wooden beast installations by a famous Dutch artist

  • Small museum within the summer palace

  • Incredible art by MC Escher using linocuts

• Mauritshuis (surprisingly very full of art but cool)

  • This is where Vermeer's "Girl with the Peal Earring" is located

  • This museum is right next to the Binnenhof or Parlimentary building of the Netherlands that you can also just walk right through!

• Panorama Mesdag

  • Large panorama painting that is quite impressive of a view of the beach by the Hague

• Pulchri Studio (free art gallery with cute cafe inside)

Thrifting

Other
