Standing in the centre
See how the cylindrical painting surrounds you and look for horizon, light and scale. Notice the way the painted view connects the coast and the village.
A moment of Scheveningen
Look at clothing, boats and buildings as a painted selection. Compare a detail with a historical source before you treat the panorama as an exact photograph.
Mesdag beyond the dome
The other galleries show paintings and context. Find a smaller coastal work and compare brushwork, viewpoint and weather with the circular panorama.
