The Mesdag Collection

The Mesdag Collection exhibits paintings, drawings, and decorative arts assembled by marine painter Hendrik Willem Mesdag and his wife Sientje Mesdag-van Houten.

After collecting art from 1866 to 1903, Hendrik Willem Mesdag donated this museum building and its extensive collection to the Dutch state for preservation.

The collection includes works from the Hague School, French Barbizon School painters, and Japanese decorative arts displayed in nineteenth-century settings.

The museum operates under the Van Gogh Museum Foundation, offering guided tours, educational programs, and temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

The collection contains one of the largest assemblages of French Barbizon School paintings outside France, including works by Corot, Rousseau, and Millet.
