Escher in Het Paleis in The Hague

You're standing on the Lange Voorhout in The Hague, in front of Escher in The Palace. Start with the building itself. This stately house dates from 1764 and has a royal past. Queen Emma bought it in 1896 and used it as her winter palace from 1901 until her death in 1934. After that, four queens kept their offices here, until Queen Beatrix moved hers to Noordeinde Palace.
