At night, when it is dark outside, the doors of museums in The Hague open especially for young cultural night owls. On Saturday 22 March between 5pm and 9pm, there will be a special programme full of cool activities. 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!
Art is a serious business, right? Sure, but art is also a way to discover the world. To be amazed, to investigate and to have fun. Want to know how? Come to Escher in The Palace and dive into the world of M.C. Escher!
Be enchanted by the magic in Escher’s prints and go on a journey of discovery through his exciting palace of mirrors. We challenge you to discover him in a new way. Maybe today you will get to look at art upside down or with your eyes closed. During this museum night, nothing is what it seems!
