De Mesdag Collectie

The Mesdag Collection houses the exceptional art collection of the painter Hendrik Willem Mesdag and his wife, Sientje Mesdag-van Houten. In their former home and the museum building constructed specifically for this purpose, you’ll discover one of the most important collections of the Barbizon School outside of France. The intimate atmosphere of this 19th-century artists’ community has been fully preserved here, offering you a unique glimpse into the tastes and lives of this influential artist couple.
