Description
The Frans Hals Museum was established in a former old people's home - the fourth important building by Lieven de Key in Haarlem (1608) - at Groot Heiligland 62 in 1913, when the municipal art collection was transferred here from the Town Hall. It now occupies a leading position among the art galleries of the Netherlands, giving a predominant place to the work of Haarlem artists.
