Guided tour through the former American Embassy
The former American Embassy was designed by Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer and completed in 1959. The consistently implemented trapezium-shaped windows give the building an iconic appearance. The national monument has a unique architectural and substantive meaning. With the auditorium, the library and the special window/facade construction, the building is just as special as the MET-Breuer museum in New York.
The tour guide at West Den Haag shows you around the spaces that tell endless stories about diplomacy, history and architecture. Located in the middle of the Museum Quarter in The Hague, the building is now a center for arts and culture. West Den Haag is a museum for contemporary art with changing exhibitions and events.
