The Municipal Museum (Gemeentemuseum Den Haag) is an art museum, located in The Hague, The Netherlands. The museum was built by the Dutch architect H.P. Berlage. It is renowned for its large Mondrian collection, the largest in the world. His last work, Victory Boogie-Woogie, is on display here. The modern art collection provides a varied overview of developments in the fine arts since the early 19th century. Charley Toorop’s piercing eyes and Floris Verster’s bowl of eggs are flanked by works by leading foreign artists, including Picasso and Monet, plus an extensive collection of German Expressionist pieces. This helps to place Dutch examples of the Realist and Symbolist schools and the De Stijl movement in an international context. Outstanding features in the collection are the Hague School paintings and a marvellous series of works by Mondrian, ranging from moody Dutch landscapes to the sparkling Victory Boogie Woogie. As a whole, the collection traces the thrilling story of modern art – right through to today. Den Haag tourist landmark.
