About this school trip

At Escher in The Palace (Escher in Het Paleis) on the Lange Voorhout in The Hague, fish turn into birds and water flows uphill. With more than 120 prints, the best-known works of Maurits C. Escher are always on display, from his early Italian landscapes to his characteristic tessellations, impossible buildings and world-famous Metamorphoses. It is the ideal place to connect art and mathematics.

The museum has a varied education programme for primary schools (ages 8–12) and for secondary schools. The programmes link to the curriculum, so a visit fits neatly into art, maths or numeracy lessons. Pupils learn to look at perspective, symmetry and patterns, and often go home full of wonder.

We are happy to take care of transport to The Hague for you and your pupils. With a comfortable coach and an experienced driver, your class travels safely and in a relaxed way to the centre of the city.
