Escher in The Palace has plans to develop an Escher app. Our museum features a great deal of Escher’s work, while information boards go into detail on his themes and techniques. Unfortunately, there is little room in the museum for the background and history of individual prints. Which is why we are keen to make such information available via an app, which is to be downloadable for iOS and Android in due course. Will you join us in thinking about the content?
Dutchman Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) is one of the most famous graphic artists in the world. The way he plays with perspective, space and reality means he remains fascinating even today. The highlights of his collection can be seen in Escher in Het Paleis.
The life of Escher, year by year.
Escher in The Palace offers two tours in which you will learn more about Escher's masterpieces, his techniques and the story behind the prints.
Our building at the Lange Voorhout has a long history. Read about its origins, the Royals who lived here and how this palace became the residence of a permanent exhibition dedicated to Escher.
