Why visit this sculpture museum?

Museum Beelden aan Zee is dedicated to sculpture and provides a quieter cultural alternative to the busy Scheveningen boulevard. Its architecture is integrated into the coastal dunes, creating an intimate setting for monumental and smaller works of art.

The museum was established in 1994 by collectors Theo and Lida Scholten. Its displays explore how artists interpret the human form through sculpture, portraiture and different materials.

The collection and temporary exhibitions

Discover modern and contemporary pieces in bronze, stone, plaster and other media. The collection explores portraiture, the body, movement, expression and the changing relationship between art and society.

Temporary exhibitions feature Dutch and international artists. Since the programme changes, consult the exhibition calendar before travelling if you want to see a particular artist or work.

The building, dunes and outdoor sculptures

Part of the museum experience is its unusual location close to the beach, with indoor galleries and outdoor sculpture areas. Natural light and views into the surroundings give the displays a distinctive atmosphere.

Outdoor sections may be affected by weather or exhibition installation work. Allow extra time if you enjoy photography, architecture and the museum setting.

Standard admission is listed at €22 for adults, €9.25 for ages 13–18 and free for children up to and including age 12. Student discounts and special exhibition supplements may apply; confirm conditions during booking.
