Review & FAQ:

Princessehof, a Dutch Baroque building, in the historic city center, was once occupied by royalty. It was subsequently divided into three houses. The mathematically inspired Dutch painter, Escher, lived in the middle house during his childhood. It is now part of a Ceramics Museum and contains the world's largest collection of tiles. The collection of the last royal to occupy the palace is housed in the Nassau Room. The temporary exhibitions on the ground floor are changed regularly. Ceramics from all over the world can be found in the permanent exhibition on the upper floor. The museum has a café.
