The Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (English: Municipal Museum) is an art museum in The Hague in the Netherlands.

The museum, built 1931–1935, was designed by the Dutch architect H.P. Berlage.[2] It is renowned for its large Mondrian collection, the largest in the world. His last work, Victory Boogie-Woogie, is on display here.

GEM (museum for contemporary art) and Fotomuseum Den Haag (The Hague museum for photography) are part of the Gemeentemuseum, though not housed in the same building and with a separate entrance fee.[3][4]
