Verweyhal, Neoclassical museum building at Grote Markt, Netherlands
The Verweyhal building stands near the Vleeshal, featuring a facade decorated with inscriptions of artists' names and 'Modern Art' across its surface.
Built in 1880 as a gentlemen's society for Trou moet Blycken, the building later became a bank in 1924 before transforming into an exhibition space.
The museum space presents rotating exhibitions of regional artists and maintains collections focusing on Haarlem's artistic heritage and contemporary works.
The exhibition halls occupy the upper levels of the building, with access provided through an entrance adjacent to the neighboring Vleeshal structure.
Financial difficulties led the original gentlemen's society to sell the building to the city for 125,000 guilders in 1922, marking a shift in its function.
