Over Outdoor Museum

Welcome to the Outdoor Museum, home to several of the best Dutch Masters from the Golden Age. You can visit our museum in a picturesque part of the historical city of The Hague around the Dunne Bierkade. Almost all locations can be visited by one of our guides. The Outdoor Museum has an attractive program for both groups and individuals. The focus is on interaction, learning and experiencing. We focus on three themes: The Dutch Masters and painters of the nineteenth century, Royal The Hague and the old harbour district Inside and outside the Outdoor Museum

The Monumental House of Van Balckeneyndes is designed by Pieter Post. Van Balckeneynde was the builder of The Hague Palaces and the Cats House. Later the house was bought by Anton and Johann Frantz Lyncker (1776-1791). Here he set up the factory for the Hague porcelain. The brothers Verveer, a Jewish family of artists of the 19th century, also lived in this house.
