Gemeentemuseum Den Haag

With 150,000 works of art, the Gemeentemuseum is one of Europe’s biggest art museums. It has a leading collection of modern and contemporary art, fashion and decorative arts. It is also the international home of Piet Mondrian, with no fewer than 300 works by the famous Dutch artist in its collection. This is the only museum where Mondrian’s life and progress towards abstract art unfold before your eyes, surrounded by illustrious predecessors and contemporaries like Monet, Picasso and Kandinsky, and successors like Sol Lewitt, Francis Bacon and Louise Bourgeois. Our leading international art collection is housed in one of the most important items in our collection: H.P. Berlage’s magnificent Art Deco building. An ode to beauty, the building shows the art to its very best advantage and ensures visitors feel at home. Daylight floods the intimate side galleries, wonderful hallways and impressive entrance hall, and the entire building has an air of quality and luxury. From the bronzed brass to the marble flooring, from the fabulous decorative brickwork to the richly-coloured tiling: the Gemeentemuseum is literally a work of art for the arts.
