The municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg has a remarkably rich collection of art. The collection came about through years of collecting. Not only art-loving mayors bought in the past art for the church, but also the high quality range of well-known local artists and their art and the famous BKR scheme led to an ever-growing art collection. The exhibition Mayor Museum Collects Swaensteyn presents highlights from the municipal art collection and shows that in addition to special items from its own collection Swaensteyn. Museum Swaensteyn thus gives the municipal art, which actually all of us is temporarily returned to the people of Leidschendam-Voorburg and other interested parties.
From School The Hague to contemporary art works by Aart van den IJssel, which was part of The New Ploeg, to cityscapes by Paul Constantine La Fargue. The municipal art collection is diverse: colorful, exciting, recognizable, classic but quirky and intriguing.
