Museum De Lakenhal

Museum De Lakenhal is at the heart of Leiden’s history and art. Housed in the former cloth inspection hall dating from 1640, the museum combines a beautifully restored historic building with a bold, modern new wing. Here you can discover world-famous Leiden masters such as Rembrandt van Rijn, Lucas van Leyden, and Jan Steen. From the legendary “Leidens Ontzet” to the thriving cloth industry: at De Lakenhal, the past of the “Key City” comes together with contemporary art in an inspiring way.
