Museum Beelden aan Zee
Museum Beelden aan Zee is a sculpture museum embedded in Scheveningen's dunes, with terraces and sea views hidden from the busy boulevard.
Why go
The building is part of the experience: Wim Quist placed the museum largely underground so it would remain unseen from the dunes. Inside, modern sculpture is paired with glimpses of the sea rather than the boulevard's activity at close range.
What to look for
Wim Quist designed the museum beneath the historic Pavilion of Wied.
The underground building and terraces remain hidden from the dunes.
Interior sightlines reach the sea while screening out the boulevard.
Useful to know
Look carefully for the entrance; the low-profile building is deliberately hard to see from outside.
Pair the museum with the Scheveningen beach and boulevard.
