The Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (English: Municipal Museum) is an art museum in The Hague in the Netherlands, founded in 1866. It is renowned for its large Mondrian collection, the largest in the world. His last work, Victory Boogie-Woogie, is on display here.
The museum building was constructed between 1931–1935, designed by the Dutch architect H.P. Berlage.[2]
GEM (museum for contemporary art) and Fotomuseum Den Haag (The Hague museum for photography) are part of the Gemeentemuseum, though not housed in the same building and with a separate entrance fee.[3][4] The museum will be renamed to The Hague Art Museum in 2019.
