Kunstmuseum Den Haag has a treasure chamber of over 160.000 pieces of art. Here we work on making the highlights from this collection available online.
We are more than happy to strengthen the message of your event by linking it to one of the museum's top exhibits, for example with a guided tour, a lecture or a word of welcome by one of our experts.
TEMPORARY EXHIBITION
CONTINUOS EXHIBITIONS
Marie Tak van Poortvliet (1871–1936) and Jacoba van Heemskerck (1876–1923) first met in The Hague at a young age. The ambition, ideals and personal relationship they shared – loving, intellectual and spiritual – pushed the envelope of what was considered socially acceptable at the start of the 20th century. Today, their bond is recognised as a love that had to remain largely hidden in life.
From the traditional Dutch ‘vlaflip’ to a royal dessert buffet, from baklava to a Charlotte Russe, from custard and ice cream to delicious gateaux: this winter the history and enjoyment of desserts in Europe will be the focus of a new exhibition at Kunstmuseum Den Haag which opens on 23 November 2024. With exhibits including recipe books, baking tins, dinner services, paintings and much much more, visitors will be able to dive into the delicious world of desserts. A fun combination of art-historical objects and creative contributions from contemporary makers will make for a show full of surprises. Author and TV personality Janny van der Heijden is the guest curator of Grand Dessert – The History of the Dessert.
