Discover the remarkable story of Pierre Cuypers (1827–1921), the famous architect and designer behind iconic structures such as the Rijksmuseum, De Haar Castle, Amsterdam Central Station, and the restoration of the Ridderzaal in The Hague. In the exhibition, you’ll discover not only his impressive designs but also the ambition, vision, and entrepreneurial spirit that helped him become one of the most influential architects in the Netherlands.
The Cuypershuis is located in Cuypers’ former home and studio. In this unique historic building, the atmosphere and bustle of days gone by are still palpable. Historic rooms, original artifacts, and interactive displays bring the life and work of Cuypers and his family to life in an engaging way.
During the guided tour, which lasts just over an hour, a guide will take you through the highlights of the exhibition and share fascinating stories about Cuypers, his family, his designs, and the history of this inspiring place. This will bring you closer to Cuypers—both literally and figuratively.
