    Escher in Het Paleis (Escher in the Palace) image
    Escher at the Palace is dedicated to the work of Holland’s most famous graphic artist M.C. Escher. Nearly all his prints are exhibited, among them Belvedere, Drawing Hands, Waterfall and Ascending and Descending. Here you can see how Escher changed fishes into birds, made water flow upstream and his less known, but very attractive early Italian landscapes. On our main- and first floor you can see how his work progressed from depicting the real world to his constructed worlds. Optical illusion is a key word in his work.An optical illusion depicts something which is in fact impossible. M.C. Escher was a master in this field. An optical illusion literally means doing puzzles with your eyes. The visitor will be able to unravel some of Escher’s mysteries like the Impossible Penrose Triangle by constructing one himself. The extra presentation “In the Eye of Escher” shows various themes in which Escher was involved, like reflection, perception and perspective. See more..

    - One of my favourite museums in the world

    De Mesdag Collection image
    The house itself is lovely inside. What I loved was the collection of art. I really liked the collection, a mixture of studies and paintings. The explanations were excellent and I watched all the videos which I don’t usually do. They were interesting and amusing. What makes it particularly lovely is it is quiet and you can really take your time enjoying the art. If you want to see a very famous painting and take a selfie, not the museum for you. If you love landscapes and French and Dutch art, then I’d advise you to visit. I thought it was a good sized collection. See more..
