municipal museum of leiden (stedelijk museum de lakenhal )印象

For the not so seasoned museum visitor, the Lakenhal museum seems a little bit disconnected. The temporary exhibition on utopia is extensive and tries to guide the visitor through the various phases in the early 20th century. I say "tries" because it is not always easy to follow, even with the written guide in hand. The permanent display has some very interesting historical bits about the recapture of Leiden by the geuzen, apparently translated as beggars, from the Spanish in the late 16th century. Overall, not a spectacular museum, but certainly worth a visit on a rainy November day. At 12.50 the admission (including surcharge for Utopia) is unfortunately rather pricey.

Beautiful building housing a vast art collection including paintings by Dutch Masters such as Jan van Goyen. It is worth doing the audio tour (included in the ticket price) for more information on the art on display.

The museum is actually two museums in one. The art, including a very good Lucas van Leyden, makes up one part, whilst the history of Leiden and its seige is set out in the 'attic'.

Between its permenant exhibition and the Gerrit Dou exhibition this museum offers visitors some great learning opportunities. Learn about the rise and fall of Leiden's golden age of fabric production and marketing. See cloth samples and weaving equipment as well as other historical (and elegant) artifacts. Learn about the labor intensive, and not so romantic, aspects of fabric and cloth production. Plus, you can enjoy paintings from the Leiden school of art. Museum staff were friendly and helpful. There's a self-service refreshment corner for taking a break. In general, I liked the museum's quiet, 'historical' ambience.

A beautiful historic building featuring a collection of local painters mainly 17th century plus temporary exhibitions.

For the people that don´t go to museums a lot this museum is not that interesting. The museum looks nice, in the old building. A lot of small rooms. The paintings itself tell the story of Leiden, but it was not very interesting. Fun too see, if you have time left.

Goodmorning! Thank you very much for the flattering review you wrote after visiting Museum De Lakenhal. We are very pleased knowing you enjoyed your visit. It's a pity you were under the impression that it's not allowed to take photographs of the artworks, because it is actually allowed! Apart from the temporary exhibitions we welcome our visitors to take pictures of our collection and share them with their friends and family. We hope to see you back soon, maybe for the exhibition of 'Gerrit Dou. The Leiden Collection from New York'?

We took the train to Leiden as Amsterdam was so hot and busy when we visited. This museum was fantastic, went to see the Flemish Masters, the Gerrit Dou exhibition was a bonus. And Leiden was lovely - quiet compared to Amsterdam!

We went primarily to see the Leiden Collection of New York and were a bit disappointed that it filled only one room. The Gerrit Dou paintings, owned by a NY collector, are very fine, and there are also five works by artists associated with Dou, including a charming early work by his best-known and most talented pupil, Frans van Mieris. The permanent collection includes a very early and not especially attractive Rembrandt, a handful of works by Dou and Van Mieris, and several very nice works by a noted Leiden landscape painter, Jan van Goyen, as well as a few attractive paintings from the late Middle Ages and northern Renaissance. There is also an interesting historical exhibition on seven centuries of the cloth trade in Leiden. The Lakenhal, which is housed in a beautiful 17th-century building, is a "must visit" destination for people keenly interested in painting and other objets d'art. Others will find it less engaging.

The museum has a good collection of 17th century paintings and also gives information about the history of the town. However, I feel that the art section overshadows the history section. More should be made of that.
