Guided tour
Why not book a guided tour of the Mesdag Collection for your group? You will learn all about the unique pieces in the collection, but also about the passion with which Hendrik Willem Mesdag, aided by his wife Sientje, devoted himself to the arts, as a collector, patron, director and organiser of exhibitions.

A maximum of ten people can be accommodated per guided tour. It is possible to organise more than one guided tour at the same time.
A guided tour lasts 1 hour and costs 60 euro per group (not including admittance to museum).

Drawing workshops
Have you always wanted to draw in a museum? Now is your chance at the Paintbrush Princesses exhibition (30 May through 26 August 2012)! After a brief tour, you can get started, with advice from an experienced workshop teacher.

The workshops will alternate between Wednesdays and Saturdays during the exhibition and they will be from 2 to 4 pm. There will be a break for tea or coffee, in the garden if the weather is nice.
