The Museum De Buitenplaats, located near Wassenaar in the green area of Wassenaar Estates, is part of the Drents Museum and is dedicated to a collection of early 20th-century art, with a particular focus on Art Nouveau.
The collection includes masterpieces of floral and symbolist design such as paintings, ceramics, glassware, furniture, and prints that highlight the connection between art and nature. Many works celebrate the theme of the flower as a symbol of rebirth, part of the exhibition journey around 1900.
Outside, the estate stands out for its historical style gardens, landscaped paths, and a splendid palace that blends classical and contemporary elements. The ensemble evokes the elegance of period residences immersed in the tranquility of the natural landscape.
The museum offers temporary exhibitions, cultural activities, and initiatives that enhance the dialogue between art, nature, and architecture. It is a perfect destination for those who wish to combine historic decorative art with the beauty of the monumental gardens in the vicinity of The Hague.
