Welgelegen: period rooms and contemporary art

Paviljoen Welgelegen in Haarlem combines historic rooms with changing Dreef exhibitions. The exhibition Welkom in Welgelegen offers a way into the building and its surroundings.

Plan your visit ↗

Looking at the interior

Period rooms call for attention to how walls, ceiling and furnishings work together. Use the explanations to understand the function of the rooms rather than just looking at individual decorations.

New art in the same house

The Dreef exhibitions focus on modern art by artists from North Holland. Their changing programme can add a different perspective to the historic interior; check in advance which display is on.

Requesting a guided tour

Guided visits are offered on request. They provide an opportunity for more explanation but must be arranged separately; free access does not mean a guide is ready every day.

Before you go

Use the visitor entrance on the Dreef and the weekday opening hours. The provincial offices elsewhere have different hours; confirm a guided tour or group visit in advance.
