The first and second floors have exhibitions showing the royal period of the palace, highlighting Queen Emma's residence.

Escher in Het Paleis shows the early lovely Italian landscapes, the many mirror prints and a choice from the tesselation drawings, also the three versions of the Metamorphosis, from the first small one, to the third, of 7 meters.

[citation needed] In the rooms of the museum are fifteen chandeliers made by the Rotterdam artist Hans van Bentem.
