About us

From the world’s largest Mondrian collection and impressive displays of Delft Blue and Islamic ceramics, to a pre-eminent fashion collection and groundbreaking contemporary art: Kunstmuseum Den Haag oversees, presents, and shares a diverse collection of over 170,000 art and cultural objects collected by the city, for the city. Our approach is polyvocal and (self-)critical, involving partners on the local, national, and international level – both within and beyond our locations and those of our partners, and with a growing presence in the digital world.

With a varied and appealing range of exhibitions, we proactively offer new perspectives on the past, present, and future. Our educational programmes enable us to welcome more than 40,000 students annually. In addition, we are evolving into a production house for public programmes and co-creation, where the many communities that come together in The Hague are able to recognise themselves and feel represented.

We serve roughly 400,000 visitors each year. From the seasoned culture lover to the visitor who discovers the museum for the first time during a special evening event, everyone is welcome. Supported by a committed team of 150 colleagues with diverse backgrounds and expertise, we strive to deliver a unique experience to every visitor, in accordance with hospitality, diversity, and equality.

At the heart of this programming is the iconic museum building, designed by the architect Berlage, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2035. As we approach this milestone, and with our own strengths and histories in mind, we are pursuing new ways to contribute to what our city strives for: promoting peace and justice worldwide. We will do this through a new mission and vision, setting a course determined by optimism, polyvocality, and entrepreneurship.
