Escher in the Palace is a museum located in The Hague, Netherlands, dedicated to the work of the Dutch artist M. C. Escher. The museum is housed in the former Lange Voorhout Palace, which was the residence of Queen Emma of the Netherlands until her death in 1934. The palace was later used as a museum and exhibition space before becoming the home of the Escher in the Palace museum in 2002.

The museum features a permanent exhibition of over 150 works by M. C. Escher, including some of his most famous pieces such as "Ascending and Descending", "Relativity", and "Drawing Hands". The works on display cover the full range of Escher's career, from his early landscapes and nature studies to his later experiments with perspective, geometry, and impossible constructions.

In addition to the permanent collection, the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions that explore different aspects of Escher's life and work, as well as interactive displays that allow visitors to experience some of Escher's famous illusions and optical tricks firsthand. The museum also offers educational programs and workshops for visitors of all ages, as well as guided tours and audio guides in multiple languages.

Escher in the Palace is a popular tourist attraction in The Hague, drawing visitors from around the world to experience the unique and innovative art of M. C. Escher.
