History
The museum shop dates from before the opening of Escher in The Palace. In 1995 a group of friends from the Gemeentemuseum (now Kunstmuseum Den Haag) started to help out with the running of the shop in “Het Paleis” museum. From a group of ten volunteers they have grown to a group of around fifty ladies and gentlemen who run the shop. The foundation “Vrienden van Escher en Het Paleis” was founded in 1996. The proceeds of the shop go to Cultural projects in The Hague, Escher in The Palace and the Kunstmuseum Den Haag.

Since 2002, Escher in The Palace has had as its primary task the management and exhibition of the Escher collection of the municipality of The Hague, whilst the shop focuses on Escher merchandise.
