It was only in October 2023 when I became aware that Piet Mondrian was Dutch and the Kunstmuseum Den Haag holds the largest collection of his work. I requested a friend to bring me to the museum before flying back to Manila. It turned out to be one of the best pre-departure activities I ever had.
The museum opened my eyes to the evolution of Mondrian's work, especially from his landscapes to his abstracts. Earthly colour schemes were replaced by the vibrant colours of his later works.
The museum is not overwhelming as it is just the right size, which enables the museum goer to admire the collection without hurrying to get to the other areas. It also helps that they have a nice Grand Cafe, which serves light snacks. The cafe is a work of art by itself.
Lastly, I was lucky that during my visit they had a special exhibition of Hilma af Klint's The Ten Largest, a group of works comprising ten 10,76 x 7,87 ft, egg tempera paintings. It was a rare moment for me as the exhibit is being toured in different museums all over the world and is part of the recently concluded exhibition in The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (March 4 – June 15, 2025).
Highly recommended for art lovers and visitors in The Hague.

The art museum has a restaurant in the middle which provides coffee, tea, juice and some light meals including sandwishes. The toileta are generally well maintained and clean and the staff are incredibly friendly and bilingual.
At the bottom is an amazing section for kids to have an interactive experience and learn more about the various exhibitions and art in general. You might want to allow a good hour for this though as there is a lot of moving around, dancing and running from one room to the next.
