The Hague, The Netherlands skyline: the 40 most iconic buildings and best views in The Hague (2024)

I liked the museum! Some interesting artworks.Spend 75 minutes there. Less then Google mentioned as average (2-3 hours).Surroundings of the museum are also nice. You can take a stroll, or get lunch in the neighbouring restaurant.We walked to the beach afterwards (1.5 hour walk)

Nice gallery, a bit expensive for its small number of pieces, very unique and interesting tho.a great spot for quite a few photo-ops, also has a beautiful garden and hiking paths towards some big sand dunes

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. I won't lie and say I know much about modern art but that did not stop me enjoying the museum in full. There are some very interesting and thought provoking exhibitions in an architecturally stunning building. Staff are friendly and helpful and the grounds/gardens surrounding the museum are beautifully done and maintained with expert care. We cycled which was ideal as the weather was lovely, but it is a bit of trek from the nearest bus stop (20 walk), so perhaps it would be best to drive there if bringing kids or older folks!

It is a beautiful museum with a great permanent exposition. The temporary expositions we saw were also very impressive.

The best museum experience I’ve had anywhere, a shame the museum pass is not usable here and you have to pay for the ticket but honestly it is worth it! Plus the café has a cheesecake that reminds me of my Oma’s recipe :)

Great museum and the whole estate is a nice place visit. Museum is not very big, but enough for a one day balanced experience. Great big expo spaces, friendly atmosphere, some really good art. A good adventure to do, surely worth its cost!

This is an absolutely magical place in the Netherlands!!!Hardly visited by tourists, as it’s a bit cumbersome to get to from the usual touristy spots, this museum is immersed in an oasis of greenery and lush and filled with wonders.Visit the temporary exhibitions (when we went you could get a tattoo from the artist on the spot!), to the marvellous permanent installations.What an absolutely incredible find!

This museum was like a dream! I went here for my birthday, and it really lived up to my expectations! The current expositions are very colurful, bold and modern. It truly was a lovely experience to have been here. It felt very minimal and playful at the same time. I can't recommend it enough :)

This incredible place is definitely worth a visit if you’re into modern art. Kind of reminded of me “Depot Boijmans” in Rotterdam.The swimming pool exhibition is crazy and the room with glow in the dark lighting.No need to pre purchase tickets.Taking public transport is easy, it’s only a 5-10 mins walk from the closest bus stop which takes you directly to The Hague central.Go in the morning. Spend the day on the relaxing on the grass after or at the cafe.

Voorlinden is a private museum located in Wassenaar, near The Hague in the Netherlands.It was founded by businessman and art collector Joop van Caldenborgh in 2016. The museum is situated on a beautiful estate in the dunes, providing a picturesque setting for the display of modern and contemporary art.The museum building itself is designed to enhance the art viewing experience.It is an oblong-shaped structure made of variegated dune sand-colored natural stones and transparent glass walls, allowing the surrounding nature to blend with the interior.The building features an elegant white-steel colonnade and a unique roof structure.The interior is divided into three sections, corresponding to the museum's program of collection presentations, changing exhibitions, and permanent in-situ works. The exhibition rooms are illuminated by natural daylight, which enters the building through ingeniously cut tubes, creating a gradual and dynamic lighting effect.To ensure optimal illumination on less sunny days and evenings, a velum and transparent glass roof with integrated LED lighting is used.Museum Voorlinden houses several permanent artworks.Some of these are incorporated into the building itself, such as the Skyspace by James Turrell and the corten steel sculpture Open Ended by Richard Serra. The museum also features works by Maurizio Cattelan, including a permanent installation, as well as the illusionistic Swimming Pool by Leandro Erlich.Additionally, semi-permanent displays include the hyper-realistic Couple under an Umbrella by Ron Mueck and glass sculptures by Roni Horn.Each artwork is presented in its own separate gallery, allowing visitors to fully appreciate them.The Voorlinden Estate has a rich history dating back to Roman times. The name Voorlinden originated in 1584, and during the 17th century, several country estates were established around The Hague, including Voorlinden.In the early 19th century, a park was designed in landscape style by J.D. Zocher and his son.Later, architect R.J. Johnston built the current country house based on the English stately house style, commissioned by Esquire Ir. Hugo Loudon.Landscape architect Leonard Springer redesigned the landscape during the same period, incorporating indigenous and exotic tree species.For the opening of Museum Voorlinden, landscape and garden architect Piet Oudolf was tasked with designing the area surrounding the new building, resulting in a unique blend of 19th-century, 20th-century, and 21st-century landscapes.Visitors to the estate can enjoy the freely accessible woods, dune meadow, and dune areas by following designated footpaths.However, due to the presence of wildlife and birds, dogs are required to be kept on a leash.Museum VoorlindenBuurtweg 902244 AG WassenaarNederland

An amazing location, most certainly worth a visit for their inspiring displays of contemporary artwork. It was pouring with rain the day we visited, we'd taken a train, then a bus, then walked through the storm without an umbrella so it was a joy to dry off in this light and wonderful space. Thoroughly recommend a visit there!

Love this museum. World class contemporary art. Worth going out of your way to see and experience contemporary art. It not too big so you will not be overwhelmed. Great art space.
