Frans Hals Museum HAL (Grote Markt 16)

The Frans Hals Museum is Haarlem’s museum of fine art. Home to the world’s biggest collection of Frans Hals's paintings, alongside works by famous Haarlem artists such as Judith Leyster, Cornelis van Haarlem and Jacob van Ruisdael. And discover also the museum’s rich collection of art from the 1880s to the present day, with works by Piet Mondriaan, Charley Toorop and Rineke Dijkstra. Come and enjoy Haarlem’s 16th- and 17th-century, modern and contemporary art in two beautiful historical buildings in the old city centre. The 17th-century former home for elderly men on Groot Heiligland features attractive galleries, intimate regents’ rooms, an 18th-century doll’s house and a wonderful courtyard. See famous works by Frans Hals alongside other old, modern and contemporary art. Picture yourself centuries ago in the very place where Frans Hals himself may once have walked. The Frans Hals Museum presents exhibitions of modern and contemporary art at the 17th-century Vleeshal, the former meat market on Grote Markt. The two locations are about seven minutes’ walk apart and one museum ticket is valid for both.
