Activities

From 20 November 2025 to 15 March 2026, Escher The Palace will be exhibiting the marvellous work of printmaker Anne Desmet. Like Escher, she is a master of graphic techniques, from lino and litho to woodcut and wood engraving. The work of a printmaker is truly a craft and requires utmost concentration, mastery of the material and a steady hand. Would you like to understand how the mesmerizing prints of Anne Desmet and Escher are made? Then come to this workshop at Escher in The Palace on Saturday 22 November.

Several times a year, Escher in The Palace organises special guided tours for those who are blind or visually impaired. Before regular opening hours, between 09.30 and 11.00, we open our doors and take you on a tour of a number of masterpieces from the museum’s permanent exhibition.

M.C. Escher was fascinated, maybe even obsessed, by tessellations. He could puzzle for hours, days and months on the many ways a plane could be filled with repetitive figures. Would you like to try this yourself? On Wednesdays during school holidays, we organise a special workshop in which you can make your own tessellation!

Looking for a unique activity for your group or corporate event? Then book this guided tour and workshop for adults.n.

Our Highlights audio guide features masterpieces from M.C. Escher’s oeuvre. Listen to the stories about these unique prints and discover what makes them so special! 

The former winter palace of Queen Emma, the Queen Mother is a building bursting with history and stories. This audio tour will tell you all about the building, where Emma spent a sizeable proportion of her life.

Fancy going on an expedition? Discover the world of Escher with our scavenger hunt! Navigate your way through Escher’s life and work and explore his fascinating art. There is always an scavenger hunt for the permanent Escher exhibit, and often also a special one for our temporary exhibitions.
