Beelden aan Zee Museum

Like a piece of buried treasure hidden in the Dutch dunes, this museum highlights the best international sculptures in a beautiful landscape.

• The only Dutch museum exclusively devoted to sculptures! Chisel yourself a creative day out at the beach with this private museum’s permanent and temporary exhibitions. The most well-known sculptures include a giant mask in the dunes called “Tsuki-no-hikari” and a bronze portrait of the royal family.
• Location is everything: The sculpture terrace overlooks the sea, hidden in the Scheveningen dunes. If the weather is nice you can combine the museum with a picnic on the beach, or head back into the historic part of The Hague - only 15 minutes away. Tip: Make sure to check out the outdoor sculpture garden with 23 fairy-tale-like sculptures, guaranteed to make your day enchanting.
• The seaside museum offers workshops including plaster making, and a program called Images by the Sea that focuses on exposing art to Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers. Kid friendly: Any tiny sculpture lovers out there? Bring the little ones to the museum for a mask making workshop, or a free scavenger hunt! Paired with the sandy beaches, it makes for the perfect family day out.
