Why go

Escher's shifting perspectives reward slow inspection: familiar buildings and figures can become impossible spaces. Showing the prints together makes recurring ideas in his work easier to follow. The former palace adds a second strand, with rooms that recall Queen Emma's use of the building as a winter residence.

What to look for

  • Escher's impossible architectural spaces
  • Prints exploring reflection and repeating patterns
  • Rooms in the former Lange Voorhout Palace

Useful to know

  • Give the prints time at close range; their visual puzzles are the substance of the visit.
