Escher Museum

Located in a former royal palace in The Hague, this museum is dedicated to the works of printmaker Maurits Cornelis Escher.

The museum is centrally located in The Hague. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short tram ride or a walk of approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your starting point.
