In this Escher in The Palace documentary from 2014, photographs, prints and letters bring the life and work of the world-famous printmaker M.C. Escher to new audiences. The 20-minute film showcases his body of work, themes, techniques used and many fascinations. You also learn more about his personal life, travels, longing for the sea, doubts and successes. It is a fascinating film about a unique artist.
This film is also a permanent part of the museum exhibition but, unfortunately, can only be watched by a limited number of people at this time. To make sure you do not miss this fantastic film, we recommend watching it before your visit.
Since our doors have to stay closed to the public at this moment, we want to offer our visitors a look behind the scenes. In the next couple of weeks, we’ll introduce some of our colleagues through small interviews. They will tell you all about their job at Escher in The Palace and their love for the museum
Because we are in the unfortunate position of having to keep our doors closed at present, we are happy to offer a look behind the scenes. On this page you can take a virtual tour through our museum. We have had everything photographed in 360°. Look left, look right, look up and look down. Discover (or rediscover) Escher in The Palace. Meaning there’s no need to miss out completely!
