Escher Museum, Graphic art museum in The Hague, Netherlands.
Escher in het Paleis is a museum in The Hague dedicated to the work of Dutch artist M.C. Escher, displaying his mathematical prints, woodcuts, and lithographs across three floors. The museum occupies a former palace that was adapted for exhibitions and visitor access.
The palace was acquired in 1896 as a winter residence for Queen Emma and served the royal family for decades. It was converted into a museum in 2002 to permanently showcase the artist's work and attract visitors from around the world.
Escher's name became synonymous with optical illusion and mathematical wonder after the museum opened in 2002. The collection demonstrates how his prints continue to engage visitors in exploring spatial relationships and visual puzzles.
The museum opens from Tuesday through Sunday and is accessible across multiple floors with no major physical barriers. Visitors should allow sufficient time to view the artworks carefully, as taking time with each piece enhances understanding of the mathematical and visual concepts presented.
Modern chandeliers with playful designs like sharks, skulls, and seahorses hang from the ceilings throughout the museum. These custom-made fixtures by Hans van Bentem create an unexpected connection between the building's decoration and the artist's imaginative themes.
