The Lalique Museum is located in the heart of the historic center of Doesburg, near Arnhem. The museum is dedicated to the world-famous French jewelry and glass artist René Lalique (1860-1945).

In addition to the permanent collection , the Lalique Museum also features temporary exhibitions, where, alongside works by Lalique, works by his contemporaries can also be admired. The exhibition period covers approximately 1850-1950. The museum can be visited for free with the Vip Card from the VriendenLoterij. The Museum Card is valid. Some exhibitions may require an additional fee. 

The new section of the Lalique Museum, the two-storey Commanderij, the entrance building and the museum café will be accessible from 5 July for wheelchair users and mobility scooter users. Free parking spaces and a bus stop are located at De Bleek and the Turfhaven, a 5-minute walk from the museum. You can find more information about parking and the route here.

After years of restoration, renovation, and refurbishment, the new Lalique Museum is opening its doors to the public. To celebrate this milestone, we are organizing a spectacular exhibition:

MAGNIFICENT JEWELS! - Art Nouveau & Art Deco Jewelry by René Lalique and Contemporaries. 

On display from 1 November 2026 to 20 June 2027

Lalique is best known for his exquisite vases and jewellery, but he also designed a wide variety of other objects. This exhibition features, amongst other things, rarely exhibited tableware sets, clocks, inkwells and sculptures, as well as some exceptional monumental bowls. These works clearly illustrate the transition from the organic lines of Art Nouveau to the streamlined forms of Art Deco. Yet, despite the changing spirit of the times, Lalique remained true to his own unique artistic vision. This extension showcases the versatility of Lalique’s glassware, as well as the individuality that makes his art so recognisable.

René Lalique (1860-1945) is also known as the Da Vinci of jewelry and glass art and is one of the most important designers of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco eras. He made a name for himself as a goldsmith in Paris, where he attracted attention with his highly detailed jewelry. In doing so, he used materials that were unusual at the time, such as glass. Lalique valued aesthetics over the intrinsic value of materials. Nevertheless, his jewelry was already expensive in his day and has since become among the most valuable in the world. Later in his career, Lalique shifted his focus entirely to glass art. He revolutionized the perfume industry with his designs for perfume bottles. Lalique’s oeuvre includes countless designs for, among other things, bowls, vases, lamps, table pieces, and even interiors. His work is highly detailed and filled with symbolism. The permanent collection of the Lalique Museum covers a very large part of René Lalique’s impressive oeuvre.
