The Hague Highlights

Lights out, spotlight on! From Wednesday 24 January to Saturday 10 February 2024 The Hague Highlights will put Escher in Het Paleis in the spotlight in The Hague’s Museum Quarter. Attempt the Absurd, Achieve the Impossible is one of the statements of the graphic artist M.C. Escher and at the same time an invitation to talented creators, video artists and other graphic artists . This year it is not only one artist who gets to enchant the façade with light art, there are hundreds of them! You can be one of the artists who may temporarily change the appearance of Escher in Het Paleis.

We are very curious to see how you colour the museum and the former palace of Queen Emma. Submit your colouring page and attend The Hague Highlights to see your work life-size on the building. What is happening in your museum? What story does your drawing tell? Do you live there? Has the palace been taken over by aliens or is everything upside down? We are curious about your imagination and fantastic ideas. If you want inspiration about Escher or about what happened in the palace, click here. If you don’t have a colouring sheet yet, no problem! Download it hier. You’ll have to print it out yourself. Are you done drawing? Take a picture of the colouring page, scan and send your gem to this page before 1 January.
