Good afternoon
Learn to draw like Escher
Escher in the Palace is a magnificent museum in The Hague, located in Paleis Lange Voorhout. Here you will find the famous works of Maurits C. Escher, a Dutch artist known for his artworks featuring optical illusions and impossible objects, such as the Penrose stairs. In addition to his masterpieces like Belvedere, Day and Night, and Waterfall, the museum also offers a changing collection of his work. A visit to Escher in the Palace is a true experience. For adults, workshops are organized where you first admire various prints and then learn linocut techniques like Escher himself. These hour-and-a-half workshops are suitable for groups and families.
