Huygens Museum Hofwijck

The Huygens Museum is located on the beautiful historic estate of Hofwijck, which Constantijn Huygens designed in the 17th century as a retreat from the political scene in The Hague. Here you’ll meet Constantijn, the influential diplomat, poet, and composer, and his son Christiaan, the world-renowned mathematician, naturalist, and astronomer. The museum has recently expanded to include the Swaensteyn location, which also showcases Roman history and art from the region. Together, they tell the story of a family that changed the world.
