Museum Night 2024

Escher in The Palace is joining Museum Night The Hague again. We have put together a great programme that allows you to be amazed, but also to get actively involved. Of course, during the evening you will be able to enjoy the beautiful prints of M.C. Escher. Will we see you there?

Polytope sculpture by Ludmila Rodrigues

Artist, designer and movement researcher Ludmila Rodrigues merges architecture, time and public participation through choreographic objects and spatial interventions. In her performance at Escher in The Palace, she presents Polytope, an interactive sculpture composed of crisscrossed tetrahedrons that can be folded endlessly. Accompanied by live music by cellist Wen Chin Fu and dancer Boston Gallacher, the sculpture will come alive.

Time: continuously throughout the night

Have you been walking around with a burning question about the famous graphic artist? Do you think you know something, but are you not sure whether it is correct?

Workshop monoprint

From November onwards, Escher in The Palace will show the extraordinary prints of Julie de Graag. This contemporary of M.C. Escher was active during the period when Art Nouveau flourished and, like Escher, she had a great love of nature. By looking very closely, both artists were able to depict flowers, plants and animals in both detail and simplicity. In the workshop, you can create your own monoprint inspired by the beloved themes of Julie de Graag and M.C. Escher!

Time: continously throughout the night

Escher quiz

During Museum Night, you can ask all your questions about M.C. Escher at the Escherpedia. But maybe you don’t have any questions at all? Maybe you already know everything about him. Well, almost everything. Then this is your chance to show it off! Take part in the Escher quiz and test yourself. Answer the quizmaster’s questions and who knows, maybe you’ll remain the last one standing as the ultimate Escher connoisseur!

Time: 19.45, 20.45, 21.45, 22.30, 23.15

Escher in The Palace is not just a palace for the arts. It is also a party palace! Especially during Museum Night. How exactly? Leave that to our walking DJ. He moves freely throughout the museum and takes the party atmosphere with him everywhere he goes.
