Saturday September 3: Excursion

  • We will have a morning excursion in The Hague. Meet us at 10 AM in front of the Peace Palace (Vredespaleis), Carnegieplein, around the corner from LEI.
  • We will walk to Panorama Mesdag (Zeestraat 65) and museum Mauritshuis (Korte Vijverberg 8) in The Hague.
  • Panorama Mesdag: holds the world's oldest original panorama(pan=all -orama=view), a round painting 120 m long and 14 m high. It is as if you are at Scheveningen beach. The painter is Hendrik Willem Mesdag (1831-1915), a representative of the Hague School art style.
    Mauritshuis: a unique 17th-century palace, one of the most beautiful examples of Dutch classicist architecture, holding paintings from many famous Dutch artists like Rembrandt and Vermeer    .
  • (Optional) If you have time and opportunity, we recommend a visit to the nearby city of Delft (not part of our guided excursion). Delft is a historical town, famous for its well-preserved Dutch streets, houses and canals. It has ties with the painter Vermeer, and of course there is the Delft Blue earthenware. Tram 1 goes directly from The Hague to Delft (in approx. 30 minutes), but also trains and buses go there.
