Frans Hals
Frans Hals ranks alongside Rembrandt and Vermeer as one of the most famous, innovative artists of the Dutch 17th century. Over the centuries, his vivid, loosely-painted portraits of natural, authentic people have inspired visitors and artists, too. Famous modern painters such as Manet and Van Gogh came especially to Haarlem to admire his group portraits of civic guards and other pillars of society.

View art 2x in Haarlem
Discover the Frans Hals Museum at two historical locations in Haarlem’s centuries-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.
Frans Hals Museum (Groot Heiligland) is largely accessible for wheelchairs, mobility scooters and walkers. Unfortunately, the room of the 18th-century doll's house is not accessible to wheelchair users. The venue has an adapted toilet.
