Geuzenkwartier: Art, Photography and Shopping

Those choosing Geuzenkwartier for a stay can focus on art, photography, contemporary formats and shopping. Several of the cultural institutions mentioned are in Statenkwartier; De Fred is a shopping area in Geuzen- en Statenkwartier.

Art collection and Mondrian

Kunstmuseum Den Haag is located in Statenkwartier and houses more than 160,000 works of art. Its Mondrian collection is the largest in the world. Alongside the scale of the collection as a whole, its focus on Mondrian adds a distinctive emphasis. This gives both visitors with a broad interest in art and those with a specific interest in Mondrian a clear point of reference.

Photography and contemporary art

Fotomuseum Den Haag is also located in Statenkwartier. The museum aims to create a space for quiet reflection, where visitors can discover the layers, meanings and context of photography and reflect on art, themselves, their surroundings and the world. It presents at least four contemporary and thought-provoking exhibitions each year. If you have a particular exhibition in mind, it is best to check its dates and themes before your trip.

KM21 is also located in Statenkwartier and presents contemporary visual art. Formats include installations, video installations, painting, sculpture, multimedia, performances, film, photography, drawings, digital art and design. The range therefore encompasses spatial, visual and media-based forms of expression. Alongside exhibitions, there are lectures, discussions, performances, film screenings and book presentations. Your visit can therefore be planned around an art medium or an event format; if you have a specific event in mind, check the date before your trip.

The three programmes have different emphases: Kunstmuseum houses a large collection with a clear focus on Mondrian, Fotomuseum combines photography with exhibitions held throughout the year, and KM21 complements contemporary art with other types of events. If you are looking for a lecture, film or book presentation rather than an exhibition, consider a different format at KM21.

Museon-Omniversum and getting there

Museon-Omniversum is also located in Statenkwartier. It has the largest fulldome cinema in the Benelux countries. For getting there, the Kunstmuseum stop is a useful landmark: the main entrance to Museon-Omniversum is a two-minute walk from there.

Shopping and streetscape

The “De Fred” shopping area in Geuzen- en Statenkwartier attracts visitors from The Hague and beyond. Frederik Hendriklaan, a shopping street in Statenkwartier almost a kilometre long with more than 100 shops, is nearby. Statenkwartier is also characterised by wide pavements and distinctive turrets. For guests who want to take in the streetscape as well as museums and art, these features add another dimension to planning a visit.
