Haags Historisch Museum (Historical Museum of The Hague)
Occupying a fabulous, 17th-century baroque mansion that overlooks the Hofvijver pond, the Historical Museum is worth visiting for the setting alone. The collection inside takes visitors on a trip through The Hague’s illustrious past as a royal residence and seat of government. Pride of place goes to Jan van Goyen’s magnificent panoramic painting of the city, which was created during the Dutch Golden Age.
