The watercolour Landscape with a farm is currently not on display. Due to the fragility of the work, this painting is not on display continuously. If you want to know when it will be on display again, keep an eye on our online channels or check the website before your visit.

In the rooms of Labyrinthia you will find QR codes that you can scan. These will take you to the Labyrinthia webapp. Here you will find all the information about the masterpieces and objects. You can also listen to the audio transcripts of each room.

There are several exhibition rooms in our building. The Singelzaal is the large exhibition hall directly at the bottom of the stairs at the main entrance.
