Kinderboekenmuseum

The Kinderboekenmuseum is a literature museum in The Hague dedicated to stories and books for children. It spreads across two floors with play areas where young visitors can explore different story worlds and take part in hands-on activities.

The museum was founded to preserve and present the history and development of Dutch children's literature. Its collection documents how children's books and illustrations have changed over time and which works were important in the past.

The place honors Dutch authors and illustrators through regular events and meetings where visitors can encounter the work of local creators. This engagement with contemporary artists shows how children's literature lives and develops in the Netherlands today.

The museum sits next to The Hague Central Station and is therefore easy to reach. Visitors should set aside enough time to explore the different areas and enjoy the activities, especially if children want to play alongside adults.

The Papiria area on the lower floor offers activities designed specifically for children aged seven and up, supporting reading and creativity. This dedicated space allows older children to engage more deeply with stories and creative tasks.
