Overview
This art museum features the work of the artist Hendrik Mesdag. The museum’s highlight is the extraordinary 360-degrees painting. It’s Europe’s biggest circular painting, measuring 120 meters (393 feet) long, 14 meters (46 feet) high, and a diameter of nearly 40 meters (131 feet). It was completed in 1881 and shows Scheveningen as it was then, with an artificial dune in the center, enhancing the admiring feeling you’ll get when standing in the middle of the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Best Time To Visit
The Netherlands has its charms all year-round, and you should plan your visit based on the types of activities you wish to do.
Summertimes, June to September offer longer days and lots of sunshine (average 19°C/66°F). These are popular times, so expect more crowds and higher prices, especially in big cities like Amsterdam, top attractions, and coastal resorts.

During the summers, you should expect warm weather, but scorching weather is rare. Nevertheless, I always recommend packing light and in layers, so pack a light jacket or sweater even in mid-summer. Winters can be moderately cold with optional snow. Rain can surprise you at any season, so bring your coat and an umbrella.
If you plan on camping, be aware of potential mosquitoes problems, especially near the canals. Be sure to pack some cream to avoid mosquito bites and take care of them in case you need to.
