Berlage’s architectural masterpiece.
Comprising a spacious airy interior with colourful tiles, bronze window frames and a bold red-brick design, the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag is home to some of the finest collections of international and local art in the world. Designed by visionary architect H.P. Berlage in 1935, the yellow brick-worked museum is often considered to be Berlage’s final and best masterpiece in modern, contemporary architecture.
With a permanent, eclectic collection of art pieces, including the world’s largest collection of works by renowned artist Piet Mondrian, paintings by Van Gogh and Monet, and one of the biggest collections of Delftware, the Gemeentemuseum is not to be missed for museum lovers and art aficionados alike. A particularly outstanding piece displayed in this haven for fine arts is the last abstract work “Victory Boogie Woogie” by Piet Mondrian. Special exhibits are carefully curated on a regular basis, such as the Hubert de Givenchy exhibition about Audrey Hepburn, making the Gemeentemuseum one of the most popular and beautiful centres of modern art in Europe.
