Renovations
During the next few months the museum will be undertaking several renovations. This means that some of our rooms are not open to the public during this time. The famous Civic Guard pieces by Frans Hals, however, are always on show, as well as several of our masterpieces. Because of the renovations the entrance fee has been reduced.
