This art museum in The Hague is home to some of the most eminent paintings in the world including pieces from Monet and Picasso. Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian remains the featured artist at the museum with over 300 of his paintings displayed there. Walking through the halls of this remarkable Art Deco building is an eye-opening experience. The early 20th-century architecture fashioned by H.P. Berlage consisting of colourful brickwork, marble flooring and ornamental brass finishes is considered to be his masterpiece. The museum is open to the public and you can skip the queues by booking ahead of time on their website.
