Museum · 45 min · A 120-metre circular painting that puts you in the Scheveningen dunes in 1881. Free up to age 18; closed Mondays.

In 1881 the painter Hendrik Willem Mesdag painted, with his wife and several pupils, a circular canvas about 120 metres long with the view of Scheveningen from a dune: the fishing village, the beach with the beached boats, the sea. You enter through a dark corridor, climb onto a dune of real sand and the painting surrounds you. The illusion works: it is hard to tell where the sand ends and the painting begins.
Practical details
It is at Zeestraat 65, fifteen minutes on foot from the Mauritshuis and on the way to Scheveningen. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00. Under-18s do not pay. It has a café, the Café 1881, and a combined ticket with Escher in Het Paleis.
