Museums
Den Haag and region has some thirty museums. Some enjoy international fame, others are less well-known but none the less interesting for that. Art museums such as the Gemeentemuseum, the Statues by the Sea Museum, Panorama Mesdag and the Mauritshuis add colour to the city, together with for example the Historical Museum, the Mesdag Museum, Gallery Prince William V and others. Since November 16, 2002, The Lange Voorhout Palace in Den Haag is home to a wonderful museum, which is totally devoted to the work of the world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher.
The Museum for Communication focuses attention on communication: the latest developments in the field of post and telephone, but also special postal stamps and antique telephones. Museum Scheveningen gives visitors a lively picture of the history of this fishing village. Fishing and seaside activities were dominant factors in everyday life and gave the village a unique character. The specific rural character of the former agricultural and historical village of Loosduinen is preserved in 'De Korenschuur' Museum.
