Review:

Nestled among the Scheveningen dunes, the Beelden aan Zee museum ('Sculptures by the Sea') is a private institution that focuses exclusively on contemporary sculpture. Founded by Theo and Lida Scholten in 1994, the museum celebrates contemporary three-dimensional artwork with a collection of around 2,000 sculptures, reliefs, and models collected over the past century that explore the theme ' humankind.’ Most of the collection is displayed in an open-air gallery space above Scheveningen Beach with signature pieces like five bronze portraits of the current Royal Family, and a free sculpture garden on the boulevard of Scheveningen has fairytale-like sculptures by American sculptor Tom Otterness.
