Modern art in a 1935 brick-and-glass museum, including Victory Boogie Woogie and a strong decorative-arts wing.
Berlage designed the building as a sequence of small daylit rooms rather than grand halls, which suits paintings that were never meant to be seen from thirty feet. The Mondrian holding is the largest anywhere and traces the whole arc from Dutch landscapes to the unfinished Victory Boogie Woogie. Fashion, Delftware and musical instruments occupy the rest, and the museum is far enough from the centre that it stays calm on days the Mauritshuis queue reaches the street.
Highlights
- The largest Mondrian collection
- Berlage's final building
- Quieter than the city-centre museums
Insider tips
- →Mondays closed. Tram 17 from the centre drops you outside.
- →The decorative-arts wing is the half most visitors skip and should not.
