The official opening went well on Saturday, July 4. The biggest surprise was the arrival of Katherine, René Lalique’s granddaughter, who presided over the opening ceremony. That was the moment she activated the handmade Lalique fountain. Many guests listened to speeches by, among others, the King’s Commissioner, Mr. Wigboldus; Mr. Roland, Count of Limburg-Stirum, on behalf of the RDO; and the deputy mayor and alderman for culture in Doesburg, Mr. Nick Derks. 

On 5 July, the fully refurbished Lalique Museum in the Netherlands will open its doors to visitors from the Netherlands and abroad. The restoration and construction work has taken many years. We are delighted to now be able to welcome people with reduced mobility in a much more accessible way. The lift serving the two floors of the Commanderie, which house works of art, is a major asset, as is the dedicated wheelchair access ramp. The handcrafted Lalique fountain in the garden, the auditorium with its grand piano, the vast glass corridor and the garden’s plantings are all remarkable features. Everyone has pulled together to present the ‘MAGNIFICENT JEWELS!’ exhibition in the new, highly secure jewellery gallery, from 5 July 2026 to 27 June 2027.

From 5 July 2026 to 27 June 2027, over 130 Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewels will be on display at the new Lalique Museum. Most were created by René Lalique, but his contemporaries also made their mark. The new museum features a special jewellery room filled with stunning works of art. This exhibition was organised in collaboration with guest curator Martijn Akkerman. You are most welcome to visit. Check laliquemuseum.nl for opening times.

Due to opening activities, the Lalique Museum will be closed to the public on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 July. From Sunday 5 July at 11:00 am, the new Lalique Museum will be open to visitors. You are very welcome to visit us at Gasthuisstraat 1 in Doesburg. Don’t forget your Museum Card or Friends Lottery VIP Card.

Feel free to come and smell the range to see which Lalique fragrance suits you best. Our shop staff will be happy to help. We also have a great promotion running at the moment: When you purchase a Lalique perfume in 30 ml, 50 ml, 100 ml or 200 ml, you’ll receive two tubes of hand cream as a free gift. This promotion is valid while stocks last.

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. 

From Tuesday 19 May to Friday 22 May 2026, part of the Lalique Museum will be closed. Work will be carried out on the interior of the Commanderij during this period. The museum will therefore have limited opening hours on these four days. However, you will still be able to visit the Marc Chagall exhibition and part of the permanent collection.

Due to its success, the exhibition ‘Marc Chagall – The Poet of Colour’ has been extended by three months. Visitors can view the colourful works until 4 October 2026. Alongside the original lithographs, etchings, pochoirs and woodcuts, some of which are signed and all of which were published under Chagall’s supervision during his lifetime. For the occasion, Chagall’s Poèmes have also been translated from French into Dutch and are displayed in a clearly legible format. The themes of women, motherhood and the Bible are very clearly present in his work.

During an interview with Richard Kok from DoesburgDirect, the chairman of the Lalique Museum, Santino Melssen, stated that the intention to expand the Lalique Museum to De Commanderij in the spring of 2023 

For museums, all access-restricting measures will be lifted as of September 25. This means that the one and a half meter distance is no longer mandatory in the museum, not even during possible events. 

In the period up to September 12, 2021, customers of COOP Supermarkets can save for a Day Out Voucher, which they may redeem between August 23 and February 28, 2022. 

The year 2021 is a special year. Not only was the museum able to reopen its doors on June 5th, but the Lalique Museum is also celebrating its tenth anniversary. Of course, we will not let this joyous occasion go by unnoticed.

Participants in the VriendenLoterij (formerly: BankGiro Loterij) who possess a VIP CARD can still take advantage of the promotion to bring three guests for free until Sunday, October 3.

On Saturday, June 4th, the official opening of the new exhibition 'De Stijl: Theo van Doesburg & Contemporaries' took place in the Gasthuiskerk in Doesburg. The opening was performed by the deputy of the province of Gelderland. 

Good news for holders of a VIP CARD from the BankGiro Lottery. From the reopening onwards, the Lalique Museum will accept this card as an admission ticket. This has been agreed upon between the museum and the BankGiro Lottery. 

The Lalique Museum is raffling an authentic Lalique vase among donors to the jewelry crowdfunding campaign. The vase in question is the 'Palmes' vase, designed by René Lalique in 1923. 

The Lalique Museum is in the spotlight at Omroep Gelderland because of their campaign 'HEART for Gelderland entrepreneurs'. We were asked a number of questions, which we were happy to answer. 

From December 19 to January 6, every day between 5:00 PM and 11:00 PM, a beam of light will shine kilometers high into the sky from our museum, visible from far and wide. The beam of light is part of the Oosterlicht project. 

On Monday, November 23, the chairman of the Lalique Museum, Santino Melssen, was a guest on the television program Koffietijd on RTL4. He spoke to Loretta Schrijver and Quinty Trustfull about the new jewelry exhibition. 

The digital tour announced in August is now available on our YouTube channel and this website. The video depicts the life and work of René Lalique and gives viewers a glimpse into our museum. 

Despite the reopening, not everyone is able to visit our museum yet. That is why we are working on creating a digital tour, which will be available online soon. 

In collaboration with Achterhoek Tourism and fellow museums from the Achterhoek region, a beautiful television commercial was developed. The Lalique Museum and the chandelier from Soestdijk Palace are beautifully featured in it. 

We are pleased to announce that the museum has reopened as of today. From now on, visitors can once again fully enjoy the exhibition ‘Royal Light’.

The museum is currently closed due to the Corona outbreak, but behind the scenes we continue to work, including further increasing our brand awareness.

The Lalique Museum is housed in two national monuments, and its future location, the Commanderij, is also a national monument.

The royal allure of our new exhibition is attracting attention from various media outlets focused on royalty. Recently, the television program Blauw Bloed featured 'Royal Light'.

Today, the chairman of the Lalique Museum was a guest on the television program Koffietijd. He explains himself why. With thanks to the BankGiro Lottery.
