Escher in The Palace + Museum Panorama Mesdag Tickets
Explore two remarkable Dutch art museums with a single ticket to Escher in The Palace and Museum Panorama Mesdag in The Hague. This combination ticket gives you access to M.C. Escher's mind-bending graphic art in a former royal palace and one of the world's most impressive panoramic paintings dating from 1881.
Escher in The Palace occupies Queen Emma's former Winter Palace, where you'll discover the complete world of M.C. Escher's optical illusions, impossible staircases, and mathematical art. The museum houses original drawings, lithographs, and woodcuts, including the seven-metre-long 'Metamorphosis III'. At Museum Panorama Mesdag, you'll step inside a 360-degree painting that surrounds you with a sweeping view of 19th-century Scheveningen beach, complete with fishing boats, dunes, and rolling waves painted in incredible detail.
