Seen a museum in The Hague?

Then also visit the Lalique Museum in Doesburg and view unknown works by Jan Toorop. If you visited the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag in 2016, it is interesting to see the lesser-known works of Jan Toorop in Doesburg. The starting point of the exhibition is the Eastern heritage of Jan Toorop.
In addition, you can view the permanent collection of René Lalique, the Da Vinci of jewelry and glass art. The museum regularly offers guided tours during which the curator gives a lecture, so that in addition to the information you received at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, you will also gain a different perspective on the art of Jan Toorop at the Lalique Museum in Doesburg.

The museum features LED screens and touchscreens that provide you with additional information about the collection of René Lalique. These screens also display the details incorporated into Lalique's works. After your visit, you can enjoy a delicious lunch in the flower garden or, during the winter, by the open fireplace.

If, following your previous visit to the municipal museum in The Hague, you would like to learn more about Jan Toorop, it is interesting to pay a visit to the Lalique Museum in the old Hanseatic city of Doesburg, near Doetinchem. Alternatively, you can visit the nearby museum in Arnhem.
Your visit will give you insight into the symbolism that Jan Toorop applied in his work.
In addition, the permanent collection of René Lalique is very varied.
In the museum’s media room, you can also watch a film about the way glass is currently produced in the Lalique studio.
You can also attend a special arrangement in the museum, during which the curator will give a lecture and answer all your questions. It is an engaging, atmospheric, and educational gathering.
Admission to the museum is €13. If you have a museum card, you can visit the museum for free.

If you wish to deepen your knowledge after your visit to the municipal museum in The Hague, you can visit the Lalique Museum in Doesburg. It is located in the Achterhoek region, near Arnhem and Zutphen.
There are several packages available for you to choose from.

In the case of the prosecco arrangement, you will be welcomed with a glass of prosecco in the museum’s concert hall. The curator will give you an interesting lecture about the Art Nouveau period and artists such as René Lalique and Jan Toorop. After the lecture, a short piano recital will be performed, after which you will be guided through the museum’s collection. Thanks to the lecture, you will have a better understanding of the exhibited works and you will have deepened your knowledge after visiting the municipal museum in The Hague.

However, most guests make use of the lecture combined with a lunch. This is, of course, more festive, especially during the Christmas and Easter periods.
At those times, the national monuments in which the museum is housed are decorated entirely in style.
You will be welcomed, just as with the prosecco arrangement, in the concert hall of the museum.
Afterwards, the curator will give you a lecture about Jan Toorop or about René Lalique.
Then you will have lunch in the hall. It is a lunch prepared in the museum’s own kitchen.
Afterwards, you will be given a guided tour of the museum by the curator. Any question you ask can be answered by the curator. There is also time to answer all your questions.
After the tour, you are of course free to walk through the museum on your own to look at objects you found interesting. It is an educational experience, especially if you have previously visited the municipal museum in The Hague.

Afterwards, you will explore the old Hanseatic city on your own. Of course, you can also arrange a guided tour, which the tourist office regularly promotes. This way, you will see the old Martini Tower. Naturally, you can climb it if you wish. Many tourists climb the old tower and enjoy the view of the historic Hanseatic city. Afterwards, you can visit the museum in Gorssel or Ruurlo Castle. There, the collection of Carel Willink is housed. That is a wonderful way to end your day!
You will have truly enjoyed yourself if, after your visit to the municipal museum in The Hague, you travel to another part of the country.
We hope to welcome you to the museum soon!
