Escher Museum
The Escher Museum (''Escher in het Paleis'', ''Escher in the Palace'') is a museum in The Hague, Netherlands, featuring the works of the Dutch graphical artist M. C. Escher. It is housed in the Lange Voorhout Palace since November 2002.
==History==
The museum is housed in the Lange Voorhout Palace, a former royal residence dating back to the eighteenth century. Queen Emma bought the stately house in 1896. She used it as a winter palace from March 1901 till her death in March 1934. It was used by four subsequent Dutch queens for their business offices, until Queen Beatrix moved the office to Paleis Noordeinde. The first and second floors have exhibitions showing the royal period of the palace, highlighting Queen Emma's residence.
The museum features a permanent display of a large number of woodcuts and lithographs by M.C. Escher, among them the world famous prints, ''Air and Water'' (birds become fish); ''Belvedere'' (the inside out of a Folly); ''Waterfall'' (where water seems to flow upwards); ''Drawing'' (two hands drawing each other). ''Escher in Het Paleis'' shows the early lovely Italian landscapes, the many mirror prints and a choice from the tesselation drawings, also the three versions of the ''Metamorphosis'', from the first small one, to the third, of 7 meters. This one is shown in a circle. It underlines the new vision of the museum on the work of M.C. Escher.
The third floor of the museum is dedicated to the Optical Illusion, besides the famous Escher Room in which grownups seem to be smaller than their children, one's eyes will be tricked by multiple interactive displays.
