Gemeentemuseum Den Haag

The Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (Municipal Museum) is an art museum, located in The Hague, Netherlands.

The museum, built 1931–1935, was designed by the Dutch architect H.P. Berlage. It is renowned for its large Mondrian collection, the largest in the world. His last work, Victory Boogie-Woogie, is on display here.
