Audio Guide of the Beelden aan Zee Sculpture Museum

The Beelden aan Zee Museum changes its opening hours depending on the season, so it is best to check its official website before planning your visit. They are generally open from Tuesday to Sunday. You can easily get there from The Hague by public transport, for example by taking tram 1 or 11 to the Scheveningen Strand stop. For more details, visit their practical information page.

Admission costs €16.00 for adults and €8.00 for young people aged 13 to 18. Children up to 12 years old enter free of charge. In addition, if you have a Museumkaart or an ICOM card, admission is free. You can see all prices and discount options in their tickets section.

To fully enjoy the museum and its exhibitions, we recommend setting aside between 1.5 and 2 hours. This will allow you to see the permanent and temporary collections at your own pace, without rushing, and appreciate each work.

The Beelden aan Zee Museum is unique because it is the only museum in the Netherlands dedicated exclusively to modern and contemporary sculpture. Its architecture, integrated into the dunes of Scheveningen, and its seafront location give it a very special character, creating a constant dialogue between art and nature.

To avoid crowds, we suggest visiting the museum on weekday mornings, just after opening. As for the time of year, any time is good, but the sea views are especially pleasant in spring or autumn, when the weather is milder and there are fewer tourists on the beach.

Yes, the museum is fully accessible. It has elevators and ramps to make moving around easy in all areas, including for wheelchairs and strollers. A number of wheelchairs are available free of charge, which you can request at the ticket desk.

Scheveningen is full of things to do! Right next to the museum you have the famous beach and Scheveningen Pier, with its panoramic Ferris wheel. You can also visit SEA LIFE Scheveningen, the Scheveningen Lighthouse, or take a walk along the lively seafront promenade. For more information, you can check the tourism page for Scheveningen.

I recommend downloading the museum app or getting an interactive map to help you find your way. Do not forget to take a walk along the beach after your visit, as the museum’s location is unbeatable. We also encourage you to explore the museum shop, where you will find unique pieces and art books.
