Museum Night Kids 2024

At night, when it is dark outside, the doors of museums in The Hague open especially for young cultural night owls. On Saturday 16 March between 5pm and 9pm, there will be a special programme full of cool activities on the theme of ‘Time Travel’. With one ticket, you can visit the most beautiful cultural locations in The Hague and Voorburg. Of course Escher in The Palace will participate again!

Maurits Cornelis Escher loved to travel. He often set out, wandering through inhospitable landscapes in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and Tunisia. By boat, by train, by bus, on a donkey, or simply on foot, Escher embarked on expeditions that took him everywhere. Armed with a camera and sketchbook, he mapped out each place. No mountain was too high, no valley too deep, no river too wide, and no distance too far.
