    Esher was a genius and this is a novel place to house his work. It's could just do with being a bit slicker.

    Entrance fee is 9 euro for adults. Some discounts are available for kids, students and seniors. Art of Escher is amazing as well as the building where museum is located.

    really three museums in one: fantastic escher collection, the palace is also notable and has descriptions throughout, and the chandeliers in the rooms are by a dutch artist and well worth seeing too

    Great for kids. If you don’t have kids, expect a lot of kids. Lighting in the museum makes photographing the prints difficult. Great gift shop.

    I love Escher's work! They also have an illusion room where you can have your picture taken as a giant :)

    Mind-boggling! The works of the great Dutch artist M.C. Escher defy reality big time. This museum, a former royal winter palace, shows them all. Don't forget to check out the virtual reality devices! Read more

    Eternity and infinity, Escher's main themes. Great pictures where math and art go hand in hand.

    Totally *not* worth your money. It was €10/person and we were done in 10 minutes. Also, most of the works are reproductions. Lame.
