West Den Haag

This is no longer the US embassy! However it is a very interesting museum of art and literature, with extremely enthusiastic staff. We arrived thinking it was just some small exhibition and were greeted by a receptions, telling us all about the building, its architect and history. We then went to the library, where we were given a nice cop of complimentary coffee from an artist employed at the museum. She gave us a tour of the entire place, going into great detail about all sorts of interesting thing we would have otherwise missed entirely. We expected very little going in and found a complete diamond in the rough!

Delicious coffee and tea to drink at little tables or to take out, coffee beans in delicious melanges for at home, a variety of chocolates bars, pralines and small pastries. A variety of beautiful and functional coffee machines, cups and mugs. Friendly and knowledgeable owners.

I am not sure what to say about, wasted time

Very nice gallery. Always has nice exhibitions and symposiums.

Currently at the old American Embassy, this not-for-profit promotes the arts and provides space for forward thinking exhibitions and courses. It is also a meeting space for newcomers to the society, including refugees and other immigrants. The former embassy was designed by architect Marcel Breuer and offers an interesting use of geometric patterns, concrete and trompe l’oeil.
